Winter Cruises


With the fantastic weather over the Festive period we have been able to run a number of short cruises. This gave us all a great opportunity to find out what has been going on whilst no-one has been looking out at sea! So far our winter trips have been very successful with sightings of porpoise on nearly every trip, other sightings have included seals, peregrine falcon and soaring above us we had a pair of sea eagles!



We are going to be running these trips all year, its great to be able to get out there, we have the best gear to kit you up in to keep warm and dry, and off course at this time of year with the sun and temperatures lower its a completely different experience.

Ironically the day after our cruise last week we had a group of bottlenose dolphins right inside Tobermory Bay! They where around for an hour, leaping amongst the boats in the harbour, watched by many from the fishermans pier, Happy New Year!

Have you had any sightings on your patch over the winter period? We would love to hear what you have been seeing, perhaps you have seen a beastie that you cant identify? Please send us your photos and we will do some investigating for you.
