So Close To The Seals - It was an amazing experience being able to get so close to hundreds of seals. Both John and Andy were very professional and John had a great knowledge of the seal habitation and other marine wildlife. I would definitely recommend this trip to anyone that wants a different adventure.

Fantastic Seal Sunday - Great in a word. We had an excellent time saw loads of seals and had an exhilarating ride there and back. We were spoilt rotten had the boat to ourselves! Our kids 8 and 4 had a great time. Both the guys really looked after us explained the safety systems and we're great with our kids-³

I’ll be returning with friends 😊 - Excellent experience 😊 The crew was extremely organised and provided waterproof clothing and even cases for the phones. Great sense of humor, very informative and didn’t spare any effort to make us have a great time. We saw lots of seals and even porpoises. They just stopped there to allow us really enjoy them Strongly recommended 👍🏻

A birthday trip to remember - The seal watching trip was a treat for my birthday and I did wonder if going in January was a sensible idea!! Despite it being a bit chilly, we had a wonderful time and saw lots of seals. The crew were really friendly and gave us lots of information about the seals and gave us recommendations for other times to visit. We will definitely be back for another trip - maybe in June or September as recommended. Thank you for the best time xx

Awesome sea trip - Amazing trip out into the North Sea to see the seals. Ride out was choppy, bouncy and wet but fun. The seals were very interested in our boat with their little heads popping up out of the water to stare at us like little sea going meerkats! Good waterproofs were provided. Warm clothes & waterproof boots are recommended!
