We love seeing the common dolphins and sightings have been great this year, they're not always playful but when they bow ride with us it's always special.

Many congratulations to Stuart and Ashleigh, they're getting married! Stuart booked us for a private charter and proposed today underneath the lighthouse at Godrevy.
We wish we could have ordered some sunshine but we'll have to settle for wishing them all the best and a very happy future together.

Mike 1 got us there super quick, before the other boats, and bagged us the best spot. We managed to see 5 seals that were out of the water and just chilling. Plenty of others in the sea too. It was fun, informative and a great trip. Thanks Mike 1 and Mike 2. 100% recommend this trip.
