Tom Paladino, owner of the 95-foot American Princess, steers passengers over the Atlantic Ocean's scenic waters on seal-and-bird-watching tours that have been mentioned in the New Yorker. During each 2.5-hour tour, a professional naturalist directs peepers toward wildlife such as harbor seals, peregrine falcons, and marine spirit animals, as well as toward video and slide presentations that give groups further insight into the natural surroundings. Migrate between a large, canopied upper deck, a spacious main deck, and a cabin with cushioned seats for pain-free rounds of musical chairs. An on-board cash bar refuels guests with hot spiced coffee, cold mixed drinks, and slurpable soups.
