We had two fabulous Ocean Discovery trips today, with enormous numbers of dolphins on both. It was completely calm first thing so we motored south to an area where we calculated would be good feeding conditions and we were rewarded with the first dolphins of the day. They were feeding with bluefin tuna and hundreds…

The last day of August – why does August always feel like far longer than 31 days!? We had extremely windy weather over the Bank Holiday weekend, so we cancelled trips and headed back out today, and the scheduled five hour trip became a three hour instead. Wise decision, as there was still some really…

There’s some ugly weather coming in over the next few days – well it is August Bank Holiday after all. For today though, all was well and we had an Ocean Discovery and two Bay Discovery trips. This morning there were lots of common dolphins to the south quite near Mousehole, and the sea state…

We had every weather today: wind, drizzle, fog and finally boiling sunshine to end the day 🥵. Given the conditions on this morning’s Discovery Voyage we did really well to find several groups of common dolphins (in the fog!) and a grey seal hauled out on the rocks. No tuna today, but we saw the…

It was so windy yesterday and overnight we shortened our morning four hour to a three hour trip. It was a south easterly wind so still fairly choppy, however we had some great views of a pod of about fifty common dolphins with lots of gannets as well as a male seal hauled out on…

A five hour trip this morning and it was another cracker. There was just enough of a south easterly to have a great sail without it being choppy and uncomfortable, though a bit of splash never harmed anyone 😄. First we had a lovely view of a pair of seals on the rocks on the…

What a long day! Definitely a case of make hay while the sun shines, as conditions next week are currently looking dire! This morning we had a three hour trip and headed down west to find the tuna. Sure enough they were there leaping away, though hard to get photos of. There were some seals…

We had a very “brisk” (aka screaming) northerly wind to contend with today, though there was not much swell. Because this offshore rather than onshore wind, it just means we can reef right down and run the trips safely, though it did mean the four hour trip was shortened to three hours. We did pretty…

It was a squally August day today with everything the weather could throw at us. This morning on the Discovery Voyage we had great sightings of several Risso’s dolphins, including mums with calves and also some males who were more boisterous. There were also lots of common dolphins, some grey seals and some tuna spotted….

Two Ocean Discovery trips today in conditions which seem to have entirely returned to normal! On this morning’s tour, conditions were reasonably tricky – we managed to find common dolphins and Risso’s dolphins but they were tricky. The hundreds of dolphins we were seeing a few days ago have moved offshore again for the moment….
