I'd be concerned about getting that far out without training or experience, even if going with a group.

An alternative might be to consider heading up to Canada -- there are several places along the lower St. Lawrence, -- Mingan Islands, Sanguenay River Mouth -- where belugas and minkes, and I believe larger whales, are frequently seen right offshore.
