I have been living in NJ for over 25 years and didn't even know whale watching was a thing here. I did a whale watching trip near Cape Cod many years ago during the summer, and it was one of the most boring things I have ever done.

Some of the party boats started doing them because they are easy cash. Pay captain and maybe 2 mates. No need to buy bait, minimal fuel, etc.

Easy money from a bunch of tourists.

Princess whale tours in the summer are a nightmare. With the pier bar, marina bar, and a whale trip, good luck parking anywhere to hop on a boat.
