Whales, Dolphins and more
I think the weather this weekend was fitting to all those mothers out there. It was beautiful and calm. Both days were outstanding but both different in what we saw. Thousands of Guillemots have arrived and look very settled too. The nations favorite, the Puffin has returned and looks as beautiful as ever. The Shags … Read more
We do Sunset Cruises every Tuesday and Thursday from May until mid Sept but so far this year it has not been the best. What we tend to do is slowly cruise around the Farnes, seeing all the seabirds and seals and the light is perfect at this time of day for photography, but this … Read more
I have put together a couple of Bottlenose Dolphins clips that myself and Andy was fortunate enough to capture a few weeks ago. The dolphins were just outside the harbour and slowly moving south towards Beadnell, so we had an hour before we had to pick our first guests. The second to left the harbour … Read more
I have never blogged about the dolphins so far this year as we have seen them loads and I thought that everyone might get a bit bored of hearing about them. While on the boat the other day someone asked me if we had seen the dolphins this year. When I replied yes, they said … Read more
We saw our first Minkie Whale on Monday 17th August and we were a little lucky to be honest. It was spotted by another boat and myself and Andy had just drooped our guests off onto the Inner Farne when we saw it around his boat. We decided to go for it and when we … Read more

I quickly paid for the milk, jumped back into the van and dashed down to the harbour. I was moored on the outside of Ron … Read more
On Tuesday we were on our landing trip to the Inner Farne when I noticed another boat going really slow and in a place you would not expect him to be doing it. My first thoughts were, what’s he seen and as I looked through my bins I noticed a dolphin jump clean out of … Read more
This has been the best year for Bottlenose Dolphins that I have ever seen, and to see as many throughout the season has been unbelievable. It’s funny how every year the Farnes does something that amazes me, and not one year is ever the same as the other. Last year it was the year of the Minkie Whale but this year … Read more
What a day and what a sight…… I was in the harbour this morning waiting to pick up my guests when I got a phone call from a friend saying that he had seen something in the water like a whale or a shark but he was not sure what it was. Quick as a flash … Read more
