Dolphins, reefs and rugged coastline — a true Cornish sea safari
Your journey begins in the historic harbour of Penzance, heading past Mousehole towards the Islet of St Clements — a regular resting spot for grey seals. As you pass the Penlee Lifeboat Station, your skipper will share the story of the Solomon Browne and pay respects to the lives lost in 1981.
From here, you’ll venture into deeper waters over Epsom Shoal, where tidal currents bring nutrients to the surface — creating the perfect conditions to spot dolphins, harbour porpoises and occasionally whales. Wildlife encounters here are real, raw and unforgettable.
On the return journey, explore the edges of the Runnel Stone Marine Conservation Zone and follow the coastline past hidden coves like Porthgwarra, the iconic Minack Theatre, and historic coastal villages including Penberth and Lamorna.
This is more than just a boat trip — it’s an immersive experience shaped by the ocean, where every route is different and every sighting is earned.
The team are passionate conservationists too — don’t be surprised if they stop to remove marine litter and protect the wildlife you’ve come to see.
