Welcome to Moray Firth Boat Charters and a different way of enjoying the Moray Coast.

Based at Banff Marina, I don't operate set scheduled trips selling individual tickets to make a full charter. Instead I offer "Whole boat skippered charter" catering for small private groups.

Whether it's just the two of you wanting a gentle cruise up the coast, Dad and the kids wanting to do a little fishing or a group of friends (max 5 passengers) enjoying a few hours out at sea, you book the boat; you decide what you would like to do and see and how long you would like to be out.

You might want to try to see the Moray Firth Dolphins or a Minke whale; You might want to visit 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. You might want to do a little fishing and catch some Mackerel for the BBQ! You might just want to cruise and have a picnic lunch!

Your skipper - Rob McHugh

 

Each booking is tailored to you - It's like having your own boat and skipper on holiday.
