Posted Aug.03, 2022 under ACCOMMODATIONS, Motels, Hotels and Resorts
It’s an experience fit for a king, or a Killer Queen.

The Mercury Hotel pays homage to the eccentric front man of Queen himself, with captivating details throughout in an ongoing tribute to the icon and his own extraordinary legacy. You’ll feel it everywhere you turn, that crazy little thing called love.

You’ll love our fresh contemporary beach furnishings. You’ll love looking up at the brilliant night sky from our extraordinary rooftop deck. You’ll love being nestled inside one of our luxurious fireplace suites or outside lounging on our garden patio. You’ll love being steps from the beach, the harbor, and the bustling hub that is Commercial Street. Whether you come with somebody to love or find somebody to love, The Mercury Hotel is an experience you’ll never forget.

Beth Ann Boat Excursions

Posted Mar.04, 2021 under Boats: Charter, Fishing, Party, Piers, Rentals, and Tours, Whale Watching
Beth Ann Boat Excursions operates off of MacMillan Pier, has two spacious boats, and offers a variety of types of trips. Our two boats can accommodate up to six passengers, have sound systems, refrigerators for your food and drink, and full size bathrooms. Choose between the 38 foot Beth Ann, our flagship, which has multiple relaxation areas and an upper deck, or the 29 foot Bethie, a boat reminiscent of the old cruising boats of Newport, Rhode Island.

We offer a number of fishing trips – for striped bass, bluefish, and even tuna. We supply all the equipment you need, help you along if you are new to fishing, and fillet your catch for that nights dinner. We have all day, half day and a shorter condensed trips so we can fit into whatever your schedule dictates.

Whale watching, Beth Ann Boat Excursions, and Provincetown go hand in hand, and we offer you the opportunity to see these tremendous mammals up close and personal, but without the 250 other people you contend with on the big boats. We go where the whales are, and if we have to go a little further and stay out a little longer to give you a fantastic experience we will.

Looking for something different? Try our two hour Harbor or Sunset cruises, or thrill your kids with the Kids Sea Creature cruise. Or go bigger, and join us on our quest to find and watch the predator of the sea, the Great White Shark!

Our half day Fun in the Sun trip lets you enjoy the water and the beach without the crowds. Jump aboard, and before you know it we will be anchored within wading distance to the beach of your choice. Stay on the boat basking in the sun and taking the occasional refreshing dip in the sea, and listen to the tunes with your favorite drink and cuisine of choice.
