Sunday May 18th all day Dolphin and Sea bird Trip aboard the Cartlett Lady...

We really can't wait to get out on our Dolphin Survey trip aboard the Cartlett Lady, our first small boat survey of the year! Join us on a day long voyage around our Pembrokeshire  Islands with their teeming breeding sea bird colonies... Puffins Guillemots, Razorbills and Kittiwakes around Skomer and Skokholm, forty thousand + pairs of Gannets on Grassholm, providing great photographic opportunities. Hopefully we will connect with Porpoises and Common Dolphins (sometimes in pods of hundreds) as we cruise out beyond the Smalls Lighthouse also a location where hundreds sometimes thousands of Manx Shearwaters congregate ...

Risso's Dolphins and Minke Whale are possible and even an outside chance of a killer whale  as the male Orca "John Coe" and his pod tend to pay their annual visit during May-June.

No guarantees, but if you aint out there with us, you aint going to see anything! Cost for the 7-8 hr trip is a very reasonable £80 which all goes towards allowing us to continue our long term monitoring project which we could not afford to do without your support this is real conservation based  Eco tourism!.

The Cartlett Lady is a superb, fully coded, insured and licensed 40 ft Lochin Sport Fisher. Her skipper Andy Rickard  knows these waters like the back of his hand and the extra height  of the flying bridge helps us to locate cetaceans..Equipped with powerful engines she also has a spacious cabin and flush toilet.
We only go out in relatively calm seas as these are surveys based on our ability to find identify and monitor the cetaceans we are surveying.
