🐬 Some fantastic wildlife sightings over the past few days! 🐋

We’ve been lucky enough to encounter both Common Dolphins and Minke Whales out on the water! 🌊

Our Common Dolphins are wonderfully social and often travel in lively groups, riding the bow wave and putting on an incredible display of leaps and splashes. They’re highly intelligent, fast-moving and can reach speeds of around 25 mph! 🐬

We’ve also had some brilliant sightings of Minke Whales, the smallest of the baleen whales found in our waters. These sleek whales can grow to around 8–9 metres long and are often recognised by their distinctive tall, curved dorsal fin as they surface. Minke Whales are filter feeders, using baleen plates to strain small fish and plankton from the sea. 🐋

Every trip is different, and you just never know what might appear alongside the boat! 💙

Last Wednesday, we said a very special goodbye to our Declan as he set off for pastures new at the Nautical College. ⚓️W...

Last Wednesday, we said a very special goodbye to our Declan as he set off for pastures new at the Nautical College. ⚓️

We’re all incredibly proud of him as he begins this exciting new chapter, but he’ll be very sadly missed by us all.

The party to say cheerio was absolutely epic! 🥳🍻 Here are a few of the more public-friendly photos from the night! 📸😂

Good luck, Declan 🥰🥰

A fantastic sighting on yesterday’s 1 Hour Wildlife Cruise — a pod of Common Dolphins!

Common Dolphins are highly social and energetic marine mammals, often travelling in groups and known for their playful behaviour and spectacular leaps alongside boats. Their distinctive hourglass-like colouring makes them one of our most recognisable dolphin species.

What a brilliant encounter out on the water! 🌊🐬
