Whale Watching in Sri Lanka – Private Luxury Yacht Charter

Experience whale watching in ultimate style and comfort with CCT Sri Lanka’s private luxury yacht charters. Step aboard our elegant yacht and enjoy panoramic views, spacious decks, and personalized service as you set sail in search of the ocean’s most majestic creatures.

Two Stunning Locations, Two Incredible Seasons

• Mirissa (November – April): The southern coast’s world-famous hotspot for Blue whale sightings—the largest animals on Earth.
• Trincomalee (May – October): The east coast’s pristine waters, home to Sperm whales and playful dolphins, with occasional surprises like Orcas and Humpback whales.

Blue, Fin, and Sperm whales are common sights in both Mirissa and Trincomalee. In Mirissa, Orcas and Humpback whales have also been spotted occasionally.

Wherever you choose to sail, the Indian Ocean offers some of the world’s best whale watching experiences.
