JAWSfest

Okay, it’s official! Grab your tickets FAST for this truly new and unique JAWS Filming Location Tour aboard Seastreak’s 141 foot catamaran.

You will be in the exact location where most of the third act aboard the ORCA was filmed on Cow Bay and where Chrissie got attacked, SEE the beach that was seen in the end credits near the Cape Poge lighthouse, SEE the location where the “break-a-way pier” scene was filmed & much more!

Lou, Yana, and myself will narrate during the tour PLUS there will be a Q&A with some of the cast & crew from JAWS while out there! Trust me, you won’t want to miss this tour.

The cruise departs from Oak Bluffs Steamship Authority dock on Sunday, August 12, 9:30am – 12 noon. Adults $35 and children 12 and under $25.
