My sister and I went whale watching with Captain Jerry. Just the two of us in the boat. What a treat. Jerry knows his whales and other sea life very well. His past experience includes captaining a large catamaran for 17 years so he has lots of knowledge and experience. He was interesting and competent. I would highly recommend.

We were on Dominica during the Christmas holidays and we decided to go on a whale watching trip a few days before leaving. We found Captain Jerry's phone on the internet and tried to call him. He willingly organized the trip (we were 3) and in two days we went on his boat with another 2 tourists. In the beginning, he introduced us to several species of dolphins and whales that live here, and he warned us that he gave a guarantee for our safety but not for seeing whales. We did not go far from the coast and wiretapped for whales. We drove back and forth and then we saw dolphins. Then, again at great speed, we set off in a different direction, and to the surprise of all (even the captain) we could watch a group of about 10 whales from close proximity. It was beautiful!!!
On the way back we saw three whales. We were definitely not bored on the boat, we were watching flying fish, sea, coast.
I don't understand the negative reviews for this trip. Yes, we were unusually lucky, but even if we could not find the whales, it is necessary to realize that this is not a zoo, but an ocean!
We thank Captain Jerry for an unforgettable experience.

Hello 841dagmark
I appreciate the positive review very much. We do try to emphasize that there are no guarantees of whale or Dolphin sightings. These wonderful animals are out in the ocean deep and wild. Though very experienced in this field, there are times that they do not wish to be found. Thank you for understanding that.
I am happy that you enjoyed the trip. Do come again.
Capt Jerry

Initially contacted IslandStyle Fishing about 6 months prior to arrival date in regard to whale watching excursion. Was strung along until day of our cruise porting in Dominica at which time we were told there were not enough people to make it worth their while to go out. Pay attention to the poor reviews as they are true. This was main reason we chose this cruise itinerary and were extremely disappointed. Wasted half a day thinking we were eventually going to be going on excursion and never materialized. Bad business all the way around.

Dominica was one of the stops on our cruise on the Celebrity Silhouette. We had originally booked a Whale watching tour with the ship but decided it would be better to do it on a smaller boat with less people which was a great decision. There were only 10 on our boat. After a short time on board we saw some Fake Killer Whales which was nice then Captain Jerry spotted a breach in the distance. We took off at speed to that area and were we in for a treat! There must have been at least 12 Sperm whales round our boat at one point. We had lots of tail slapping, spy hopping and best of all 5 breaches. I never thought I would see that close up other than on tv. It was an amazing experience and made me feel quite emotional. A fantastic day and I would highly recommend this tour.

Unfortunately we did not see any whales, but Jerry certainly tried everything. He has over 30 years of experience and very knowledgeable. My sister and I were on a cruise and unable to book through the cruise as it was already full. I did some research and emailed Island Style they were very prompt replying and very helpful.
We still enjoyed our day out on the water even if we didn't see any whales. I would recommend them.

Captain Jerry is not only a great captain, he is a wildlife expert in Dominica. He has worked with Animal Planet and NatGeo, chartering their boats for documentaries, and is a wealth of knowledge about the country and its wildlife. If you're looking to see whales, you won't be disappointed. It was truly majestic to see these creatures just frolicking next to the boat--and his rum punches are equally magnificent. Highly recommend!

We joined a tour captained by Capt Jerry. There was a little mix up in where we were to meet but we did finally get aboard and head out to see. It was very rought but boat handled it well. Boat will do 12 people. Captain Jerry has a very good eye and we did sight the whales but only got to see 3 of them. Would recommend the tour.,
