Accompanied by a member of Atlantic White Shark Conservancy's team, visitors and locals alike can take a seat aboard a Chatham Bars Inn's vessel and participate in 'Citizens Science' as they add white shark sightings to the Sharktivity App, use a hydrophone to determine if a shark has been tagged, and record observations to be shared with the white shark research team.
Expeditions run twice daily, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays from July 3 to October 20 and are weather permitting. As the only tours offered on the Cape that directly benefit white shark research, a portion of the trip fee is tax deductible. Registration for the trip includes participants’ entrance at The Chatham Shark Center. Great White Shark Expeditions are $2500 for up to five passengers.
Tom here- $500 is somewhat expensive for a few hours-but it is better to see the sharks from a boat than from a surf board. -Tom
Or you can take the free boat ride from Nantucket Pier to Toppers at The Wauwinet Inn - did that years ago, I think our wind bill approached $500 though.
