I am very sorry but Alucia will not be operating any Boat Trips or Fishing trips throughout the summer of 2012 - This is for Medical reasons - Normal service, hopefully, will be resumed in 2013!
Welcome to Moray Firth Boat Charter.
Based at the historic harbour of Banff in the North East of Scotland about 50 miles North of Aberdeen I offer "Whole Boat Skippered Charter" where I cater exclusively for small private groups. It's a little more expensive, but you have the whole boat to yourself.
Whether you want a pleasure cruise or to do some fishing, you will enjoy the exclusive use of the boat for your trip.
You might just want to cruise down the coast, enjoy the sun and scenery and have a picnic lunch where you might be lucky enough to see the Moray Firth Dolphins or a Minke whale!
You might want to take a cruise to Troup Head, the only mainland gannet colony in Scotland. During the summer months it plays host to over 150,000 breeding seabirds including gannets, fulmars, kittiwakes, guillemots, and puffins.
Sea fishing is popular. During the summer you might enjoy a short trip to catch some Mackerel.
If you're a keen fishermen you might want go out for a whole day after Cod, Ling and Pollock?

And what's the boat like? Well, "Alucia" is a Mitchell 31 Mk 2 and this type of boat has a superb reputation for being an excellent sea boat.
She is a really comfortable boat and one which you will really enjoy going on, whether it's for a gentle cruise or a full days fishing.
The large rear cockpit has plenty of room for moving about and plenty of seating and is enclosed by rails so is quite safe for children.
If the weather is not so kind she has a heated cabin, with comfortable seating, and a galley with a kettle so there is always tea and coffee available.
Plus, there is a "proper" toilet compartment!
Powered by a 320 hp inboard diesel engine, she cruises comfortably and quietly at around 8kts to give a nice gentle cruise. However if you're going out fishing you don't want to waste valuable fishing time! When opened up she can cruise at around 14kts getting you to the fishing spots quickly.
Safety is paramount.
"Alucia" is fully licensed by the MCA to carry up to 7 passengers. She is of course fully insured. All documents are carried on board and guests are welcome to inspect them.
As a properly licensed boat, she also carries a full range of safety equipment, fire fighting and first aid.
Go on... Book a trip.... Treat yourself !
