boat trips penzance

This morning’s trip was originally supposed to be a four hour tour, but as forecast, there was a lot of south west wind overnight, which created some big chunky swell. So we kept it to three hours and didn’t go too far west, but even so, the surf was an impressive sight. We found some…

We had another lovely day on the water today. This morning there was hardly a breath of wind, and apart from the temperature, it felt like a July day out there, with common dolphins and masses of seabirds feeding almost from the start of the trip. They were very intent on their feeding and it…

Today was living proof that you don’t need sunshine and calm blue seas to have an amazing trip. We took some students from Cornwall College Newquay out this afternoon, and there were grey skies, a bit of mizzle and some rolling southwesterly swell. However the sightings were fantastic. After watching a couple of seals bobbing…

We had a lovely Ocean Discovery trip today in the autumn sunshine. It was quiet for the first half and hour or so, then we started spotting fins, and lots of them! We found seven pods of common dolphins in the end , and most appeared to be adults this time. They were doing a…

We had an Ocean Discovery trip this morning before the wind built too much. There was a bit of a swell running from the onshore wind this week, but it was fine for a trip. We had great views of common dolphins who kept us company as we sailed. There were also some lovely views…

We had two Ocean Discovery trips today and they were both crackers. It was still a little choppy and splashy but the easterly wind dropped down through the day and there was some warm hazy sunshine. We found some big groups of common dolphins this morning, some of whom were eager to bowride with us….

The wind calmed a lot today though there were still some splashy waves out there. The wildlife was all there though – common dolphins, grey seals, seabirds and a porpoise on the first Ocean Discovery trip. On the second three hour trip, we spotted several more seals bobbing around in the water before going a…

Back out on the water today after a wet and windy couple of days, with a four hour then a three hour trip. This morning we headed to where we estimated there would be common dolphin activity and sure enough there was, with three pods spotted over the area. Passengers enjoyed watching them bowriding and…

It was a long day today with a four hour trip followed by a three hour. This morning it was quiet for over two hours, with a few rafts of shearwaters and some gannets spotted, before we found a large pod of common dolphins a long way offshore. We also saw an ocean sunfish and…
