lobster pot lifting trips!
NEXT availability over half term
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.
​
Learn about 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.
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.

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