Moray Firth Boat Charter
The Boat
As I only take small parties I don't offer scheduled trips, rather... you contact me, discuss what you would like to do and book the boat.
For the wildlife enthusiast, the Moray Firth is famously rich in life above and below the water and a cruise on "Alucia" can offer some excellent sightings.
The Moray Firth is home to the northernmost colony of Bottlenose Dolphins in the UK. While sightings of these fantastic creatures can never be guaranteed as they range widely, from Inverness to Fraserburgh, there is always a chance of spotting them.
With a little bit of luck they may even be indulging in some acrobatics!
Minke whales are often seen in the Moray Firth.
Sun Fish and basking sharks are occasional visitors and of course there is always the chance of seeing a rare visitor like Killer Whales. Grey and common seals are often seen.
If it's sea birds you want then Troup Head, home to the only mainland gannet colony in Scotland, is only around 7nm to the east of Banff. During the summer months the towering cliffs play host to over 150,000 breeding seabirds and you’ll see large numbers of gannets, fulmars, kittiwakes, guillemots and puffins too.

When the sea air has worked up an appetite, there's nothing better for supper on a summers evening than a fresh fish you have caught that day.
Mackerel are usually abundant during the summer months from June to the end of September and, at the end of a cruise, we can always stop to catch a few for the pot if you'd like to.
Kids of all ages love Mackerel fishing!
I also offer short fishing trips where we can go out into the bay and try to catch a few Mackerel . Ideal for beginners or the kids
For the more serious fishermen (and women!) I offer 1/2 day and whole day fishing trips.

Cruise the beautiful coastline, bring a picnic to enjoy on-board, look for dolphins, watch the sea birds or go fishing.... the choice is yours.
It's your holiday.... Go on... treat yourself!
