We had two very windy three hour trips today, as that westerly breeze made itself felt. Passengers still had a great time though, with seals and seabirds being spotted this morning along with some elusive porpoises. The tide was high this afternoon so the seals had disappeared and we had an exciting ride in the…

It was a quieter day today with no fins seen, however we had a really lovely afternoon with a great bunch of people. We headed westwards along the coast first , as far as Porthcurno before sailing right out offshore. The endless easterly winds are over for the moment and we had a very sailable…

We had some wonderful encounters with Risso’s dolphins on this morning’s four hour trip. We saw them a few times over the course of the morning, firstly a group of seven or so and later on a pod of four. It can be difficult to tell how many there are with Risso’s because they can…

We had a four hour trip in the sunshine today on a beautiful calm blue sea. Heading south we picked up a small pod of common dolphins who were just chilling after feeding near some shearwaters and guillemots. They checked us out for a little while before peeling away so we left them alone. We…

Another beautiful day – we need to make the most of it because things are due to change next weekend! This morning we saw a couple of grey seals at the island, before finding lots of common dolphins and seabirds and had a lovely sail on the southerly breeze. This afternoon we saw just a…

We had a great four hour Discovery Voyage this morning. To start with there were a couple of seals hauled out – while this doesn’t sound like much, the site has been devoid of all seals for a couple of weeks and we have been missing them. I’m sure it’s because the prolonged anticyclone and…

Passengers had a fabulous experience on this afternoon’s Ocean Discovery trip, when we found large numbers of common dolphins feeding with countless shearwaters and lots of gannets and guillemots. All had seemed quiet for a while, though it was a beautiful sunny afternoon, with light winds. Distant views of gannets dropping down into the water…

Another beautiful day, with sunshine and light easterly wind. A small group of common dolphins approached us as we headed offshore, and there were two very small calves with them. The little ones jumped excitedly  but unpredictably so very hard to capture on camera! It was described by one of the ladies on board as”Magical”!…

A quieter trip today with no marine mammals spotted – at least no alive ones. We did find another dead seal and also what we figured used to be a bottlenose dolphin which had been dead a long time and been pushed down the Channel by the easterlies. The teeth looked massive. We saw a…

It was a wet windy start to the day so re arranged our morning Discovery Voyage trip and went ahead with the afternoon Ocean Discovery trip once it had stopped raining and calmed down. We had two different encounters with harbour porpoises, as well as a grey seal including plenty of  birds. These included great…
