This longer trip covers a wide area, giving us more chance to see wildlife such as dolphins, porpoises, and whales.
Bring your binoculars! There will be plenty of chance to spot a number of exciting bird species.
See the legendary Tintagel Castle, or the stunning Trevose Head lighthouse from the water.
Our state of the art RIBs are custom-built for comfort and safety, with a highly experienced skipper at the helm.
Travelling further along the coast and further offshore than our 2 hour boat tours; depending on the conditions on the day, we may visit places of interest like Tintagel, Boscastle, or perhaps further west, venturing down the coast as well as searching offshore for wildlife – the sea is our playground!
We will be keeping our eyes peeled along the way for any wildlife we may encounter, such as seals, dolphins, porpoises, whales and birdlife. During mid-April to mid-July, puffins, guillemots and razorbills can be found nesting in this area, a real birdwatcher’s delight! With the extra time available to us, we can really take our time to enjoy any wildlife encounters we have, as long as the wildlife are happy with our company. Keeping to “WiSe” safe wildlife watching guidelines, we always allow our interactions to be on the wildlife’s terms.
Our boat trips are professionally guided, offering you the chance to learn a little about the wildlife we see as well as local points of interest and our rich local heritage. Your knowledgeable guide will be happy to answer any questions you have about the wildlife. You will have ample opportunity to snap some great photos of exciting wildlife and the rugged coastline. Every boat trip is a non-stop mixture of sensitive wildlife observation and exploring the wild North Cornish waters.
We take from ages 2 and up (babies are not permitted). Please be advised that our boats travel at speed and can be very bouncy which some young children enjoy but others are not so keen on. Individual children’s suitability is at your discretion.
Our trips still run on rainy days. Rain does not deter the marine life (they are wet anyway!) so we simply wrap up in waterproofs and go for it! Please dress extra warm on rainy days with lots of layers to avoid getting cold. If you would prefer not to go out on a rainy day, please keep an eye on the weather and you may cancel your booking yourself. As long as we receive at least 24 hours notice, we can issue you with a full refund.
If we cancel your trip due to rough sea conditions or minimum passenger numbers (5) not being met, we will contact you as soon as possible to offer to reschedule you to a later date. If this is not possible, we can issue you with a full refund. Please note: If you cancel a booking yourself, we require at least 24 hours notice to be able to issue a refund.
Due to the bouncy nature of the boat and the unpredictability of sea conditions, our tours are not suitable for pregnant women.
All of our trips travel at speed and can be very bouncy in places so are not suitable for those with back/spine/bone problems.
Well behaved, small to medium sized dogs are permitted on our boats, however, often dogs do not like the sensation of being on a bouncy boat so please take this into consideration. If you can make other arrangements for your dog, it might be best to play it safe and leave them on land.
Come rain or shine, our boat trips are suitable for most weather conditions.
