About Us

With a genuine love for our precious marine environment and the creatures that call it home, we strive to offer the best whale watch experience in the UK - sharing knowledge, raising awareness, and creating memories to last a lifetime.

Our Philosophy

We're dedicated to ensuring our tours are both ethical and sustainable. Our Skippers are accredited under the WiSe Scheme, meaning they're committed to approaching wildlife in the most respectful way and minimising disturbance. Oftentimes, this will mean not approaching animals at all. Nevertheless, cetaceans are highly intelligent and can be curious of our presence.

These are wild animals in their natural environment, and our encounters are entirely on their terms.
