Whale Watching in Sri Lanka – Chartering a Luxury Yacht

Step aboard a luxury yacht with CCT Sri Lanka for an unforgettable whale watching adventure. As seen in the gallery above, our elegant yacht offers comfort, style, and the best vantage point to witness these magnificent marine creatures.

Our journey departs from Mirissa or Trincomalee, depending on the season. Mirissa, on Sri Lanka’s southern coast, is famous for blue whale sightings, especially from November to April. Meanwhile, Trincomalee, located on the east coast, offers incredible encounters with sperm whales and playful dolphins, particularly between May and October. Each destination provides a breathtaking experience, ensuring the perfect setting for a remarkable voyage.

Sri Lanka’s waters are among the best in the world for whale watching. Here, you can witness these gentle giants breach, glide, and dive in their natural habitat. The sheer size and grace of these creatures will leave you in awe.

This is more than just a boat trip—it’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Whether you seek adventure, relaxation, or the thrill of spotting a whale up close, CCT Sri Lanka promises a journey you will never forget.
