Relax and enjoy up to three hours at sea around the beautiful Ramsey Island looking for whales and dolphins, then out to the amazing gannet colony at Grassholm Island!

Explore the spectacular Ramsey Island, with towering cliffs humming with life as seabirds nest and raise their young, beautiful coves and bays. 

Discover where seals bask, feed and raise the next generation of pups and very curious seals and porpoises who want to look at you as much as you want to look at them!

What to expect:

  • Breathtaking Views: Enjoy soaring cliffs filled with seabirds, seal-filled bays and the rolling open sea.
  • High-Speed Runs: Discover the excitement of the boat racing ahead in the high-speed runs over the waves
  • Unforgettable Wildlife: Enjoy an amazing experience watching seals, seabirds, dolphins, porpoises and whales!
  • DTI Licensed Skipper: You’re in safe hands with the experienced skipper who’ll take care of you on the water.
  • Internal Seating: All passengers sit safely inside, with no-one sitting on the outside tubes
  • Safety First: Lifejackets supplied to everyone for your personal safety.
  • Environmentally Friendly: The crafts use only straight unleaded fuel that drops fuel emissions by 94%!
  • Suitable for All Ages: Enjoy the trip no matter what your age, bring the kids, and even bring the dog!
  • Dry Quayside Boarding: Keep your feet and clothing dry with the safe quayside boarding!

As well as a tour of Ramsey Island, you’ll also go further out to see if we can spot dolphins and maybe even a whale or two. Trust us, that’s an experience of a lifetime!

And if that wasn’t enough, we’ll also head out to Grassholm Island (Ynys Gwales or Gwales in Welsh), lying eight miles from the gorgeous Pembrokeshire coast, and the third largest gannet colony in the whole of the UK. As you get closer, you’ll realise that what you’re seeing isn’t snow.

The island is white because there are 39,000 breeding pairs of gannets occupying every available inch of space. Depending on the time of year, you can see the males vying for females and bringing in nest building materials or, later in the year, you might get a glimpse of the chicks before they fly the nest.
