  • Once of a lifetime experience. We were really lucky to see both Minke whales, common dolphins, and a lot of seabirds. Huge thanks to the Skipper Alistair and the rest of the crew, very friendly and knowledgeable. If you are visiting Mallaig, it is a guaranteed good time while you are there. Highly recommended!
  • Went out in the rain and mist...a wee dram on board as a small bar in the Hull. Due to weather only about 8 of us on board yet they still took us out....saw some seals very close up....rode the swell...watched skye appear out of the mist...Had a real good time just being on the sea. The crew were very friendly and welcoming
  • Really well ran company If you want to get to knoydart this is the company you need. Staff really friendly. Crew are extremely good at there job. Deserve all the credit they get. Keep up the good work.
  • We had 3 generations of our family on this boat trip and we all loved it. The ladies running the show were great; very friendly and knowledgable, keeping an eye out for wild-life and adjusting the trip accordingly. We say lots of porpoises, seals and a glimpse of a minke whale and many sea birds. Overall very satisfied and I think this was the highlight of the holiday for most of us! Thanks :)
  • Amazing experience for such little effort. Minke whales, dolphins, porpoise and a seal all against the the beautiful back drop of Western Highlands !
