Spot dolphins and explore the beauty of the Firth of Clyde from Kip Marina

Your journey begins in Inverkip, where you'll head out along the coastline towards Largs or back towards Greenock, depending on recent wildlife sightings. The route is flexible, giving you the best possible opportunity to spot the resident pod of bottlenose dolphins that call these waters home. 

If the dolphins are spotted, your skipper will slow down and observe from a safe distance. Sometimes they glide past quietly, and other times they may approach the boat and put on an unforgettable display. Along the way, keep your eyes open for seals, porpoises and a variety of seabirds across the Clyde.

With knowledgeable guides onboard, you'll also learn more about the local area, its landmarks and the wildlife that thrives here. Complimentary hot drinks are available, making it easy to relax and enjoy the experience as you take in the views.

This approximately 2-hour trip is perfect for nature lovers, families and anyone looking to explore Scotland’s west coast from the water. No two journeys are the same — and that’s all part of the magic.
