Moray
Firth Boat Charter 
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 the "Sue J" 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. Indeed, in 2007 my wife & I were out quietly fishing one summer's afternoon when a Minke surfaced without warning about 40 feet away from us!
Sun Fish and basking sharks are occasional visitors. Of course there is always the chance of seeing something new. Grey and common seals are often be 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. Whether you want to do a dedicated fishing trip or perhaps just have a quick go towards the end of your cruise, it's no problem.
"Sue J" carries basic tackle for general sea angling which is available free of charge to guests.
Cruise the beautiful coastline, bring a picnic to enjoy on-board, look for dolphins, watch the sea birds or go fishing.... the choice, or any combination is yours whether it's for an hour, two hours or longer.
Charter fees for 2008 (5 guests maximum.) All trips are weather dependant.
Fishing tackle and binoculars are provided on board, but you're more than welcome to bring your own.
The timing of trips start from when we leave the harbour (not from when you get on-board!) and I don't clock watch too closely!
It's your holiday.... Go on... treat yourself!
