Whale watching

Necker Belle, Sir Richard Branson's luxury catamaran, completed its first whale watching tour of the Silver Bank in February and March 2012. The area is visited every year by up to 7,000 humpback whales for an elaborate courtship ritual on their annual migration south. As soon as we have confirmed dates for 2013 we'll announce them here first! When you charter Necker Belle for 7 nights you'll get the opportunity to observe the whales as they spend a great deal of time on the surface. The Silver Bank is located north of the Dominican Republic and southeast of the Turks and Caicos Islands.
