lobster

lobster pot lifting trips!
Limited availability from 
September

Our ‘lobster pot lifting’ trips are a great opportunity for children to learn more about some of the marine life in Cardigan Bay whilst having a hands-on experience. Did you know... this type of trip is a throwback  to our original boat trips when Winston Evans and his father would take people out on their fishing boat to show the public what was in their lobster pots. (Our experience Skipper Chloe will take over from Christian when he is not available.)

Skipper Christian is an experienced fisherman who before joining the Dolphin Spotting Boat Trips family, had his own fishing boat & business in Pembrokeshire.

Learn from him all about the marine creatures and the fishing industry in Wales during the trips and of course looking out for and learning about our beautiful Bottlenose Dolphins too.

​The lobster lifting experience  - limited availability.

suncatcher boat

suncatcher

The pride of our fleet and Cardigan Bay can carry 75 passengers and with an upper deck Suncatcher provides the ultimate viewing experience. Purposely built for spotting marine wildlife, Suncatcher has been designed around the passengers’ experience.

​

Suncatcher has 360 degree views with a top deck, an indoor bar serving snacks, hot and cold drinks and a full-size WC for passengers’ convenience.

Dreamcatcher boat

Dreamcatcher

Since launching Dreamcatcher in 2021 it has been the most popular choice amongst visitors to New Quay. 

 

The boat has an island wheelhouse, which allows passengers unrestricted 360-degree access to the deck.

 

The boat only carries a maximum of 12 passengers, so it provides a more intimate passenger experience.

These classic boats are popular choices for customers and provide just as good an experience as the newer additions to the fleet. 

 The Ermol V  has recently been refurbished. 

With cushioned seating, a canopy covering half the seating and a toilet on board. We are offering now 2 hour trips on this boat and also

1.5  if our Suncatcher is busy!

Lobster pot lifting included!
