We booked a private charter sea safari for 10 people, but because of the weather forecast, we had to change the date. It was no problem at all and we had an amazing 2 hours on the boat. We were extremely lucky, because no one could see the dolphins in the last two days, but for us, they provided a fantastic show for at least 10 minutes. We have received a lot of information during the boat trip from the captain, and also from a sea biologist lady. They were very friendly and knowledgable so we (the Hungarians) would like to thank again for the superb experience! Highly recommended for everyone!

We loved are trip out with these guys, Chris was an amazing and knowledgeable Captain. We saw seals on our trip out which was amazing! Just being on the boat and out at sea was so relaxing. What an absolute delight to have been able to go.

Chris was a fantastic skipper with so much knowledge of his hometown during the four hour combined sea safari and fishing excursion. He made particular effort to find multiple pods of dolphins (we were very lucky!) and explained the behaviour of many animals including the various sea birds we spotted. It was also great to hear about the work he does to protect and enhance the marine environment. Bonus of the trip was us catching four mackerel to eat for tea that evening! We would definitely recommend this trip :)

This is the seal safari experience you’re looking for trust me! We were whisked out to sea as the skipper had just returned from another trip where they were lucky enough to see some dolphins. I wasn’t expecting to get quite so lucky but when we got out we were treated to the spectacular sight of a pod of dolphins feeding. The skipper explained that they like to ride the pressure wave of the boat and took us for a ride with the dolphins jumping and playing along for a while. I’ve never seen anything like it and feel so privileged to have been alongside these beautiful creatures. The skipper is a true sea lover and works with seal rescue and conservation teams in the area and his passion really comes across so you also get a great education whilst onboard! We did spot some grey seals but they were a little shy and again we were lucky enough to sea a sun fish wobbling it’s weird way alongside the boat. It was an unforgettable experience for the whole family - thank you! The Bennett’s
