Nick Davies made the company to what it is today, moving the focus from sea angling close to shore, with M.V. Kerry, towards exploring the open Sea of the North Minch, with Orca 1, where we encounter Whales & Dolphins close to offshore feeding grounds.
Exploring the open sea also opened up the way towards the Shiant Islands, where we are able to see the stunning beauty of the islands, where among others Puffins, Razorbills, Guillemots and more bird species find there nest, where Golden and White-tailed Eagles roam the sky, and where Common & Grey Seals have their home.Today, Nick's direction, passion and knowledge is still the foundation of our trips.

Our Cruises
Report
We start our season with cruises towards the Shiant Islands, where we are not only enchanted by the stunning beauty of the Islands, but also by the presence of hundred thousands of nesting birds (including Puffins, Razorbills, Guillemots). The Shiant Islands are also the home of hundreds of Grey and Common Seal and the ideal location for Golden and White-tailed Eagles to roam the sky.

She has the power, speed and strength to take you quickly and safely into offshore waters where whale and dolphin sightings are most common.

From mid-May until mid-September we'll be running both our 2.5 h 'Whales & Wildlife' cruises and our 4h 'Ultimate Orca 1' cruises on daily basis* on different moments of the day. So hopefully everybody can find their perfect moment.
During the summer months, the 'Ultimate Orca 1' cruise departs either early in the morning or late afternoon to take advantage of usually more favourable sea conditions in the morning/evening as we search much more open water areas and it is still daylight this far north.Generally, the morning cruise departs at 0900/1000 hrs and the afternoon cruise departs between 1300/1500 hrs depending on the duration of the morning cruises.
