RE: Basking sharks (Cetorhinus maximus) have been found to have swarming behavior in the autumn, and no one knows exactly why

That would be an awesome sight! So we know anything about their mating habits? Is it possible that that is the reason for their great gatherings?

I can't really find any good information about their mating habits, but I assume that it's the same as with most sharks, meaning that we know next to nothing about the mating itself. So it is entirely possible that it is some form of mating ritual.
