About Great White Sharks on Cape Cod

Carcharadon carcharias

Great White Sharks are apex predators in Cape Cod’s marine ecosystem. Growing up to 20 feet in length and weighing up to 4,000 lbs., they arrive in the spring as the water temperatures warm to feed on their favorite prey; grey seals.  The population of grey seals has exploded in Cape waters recently and the number of white sharks has increased correspondingly; hundreds of sharks now show up annually. Viewing these majestic creatures in their natural element from the safety of the boat is the thrill of a lifetime.

They prefer to stay out of sight and quietly skirt the shallows and sand bars where the seals rest, looking for an opportunity for a quick strike. They are very difficult to locate without the assistance of a professional spotter pilot and airplane. Veteran tuna spotter pilot Norman St. Pierre will be flying for us and in constant contact via radio to guide us to the Sharks.

I have worked extensively on the Dragonfly with the Atlantic White Shark Conservancy and the Massachusetts Division of Marine fisheries during their groundbreaking white shark population studies. The combination of my experience on the water and Norman’s expertise in the air give us excellent chances of multiple shark sightings on our trip.

Rain or fog will prevent the plane from flying, and strong wind or big surf reduce water clarity and viewing conditions. If you have a window of several days and the ability to go on short notice it will greatly improve our chances, so flexibility on scheduling for these trips is helpful. Polarized sunglasses and hats or visors will greatly enhance the viewing experience.  White Sharks usually arrive in our waters in June and stay until November, but prime time for these trips is July through early October.
