Shorter 60+min and 30+ min trips in the afternoon (from midday) to suit families and day trippers to ensure nobody misses out on this unique experience.

Dave is a well known photographer/underwater photographer and often films the interaction of the marine life, seals and wildlife. He is also a keen wreck diver and presents the evening show Shipwreck Seals and Sea-squirts.

Keep your eyes open for Dave's - ‘Treasure Wreck Sea Safari’, which will incorporate a trip out to the Bishop Rock Lighthouse and the sites of various notorious treasure wrecks plus all the usual awesome wildlife along the way. However, this can only be planned when the conditions are perfect for a trip to the Western Rocks.

All trips are weather dependent so the routes may change daily to find the most sheltered spots when the conditions are challenging.

 *Please dress accordingly to allow for the wind speed as we cruise and occasional bit of spray* 

  *Advanced bookings advised as we can only take 10 passengers per trip* 

   But we can do lots of trips!
