RSPB volunteers are on board every cruise, and the running commentary gives a unique insight into this seabird spectacle. The last cruise on 24 August will also include throwing chum for migrating seabirds. It may still be possible to see puffins at sea during these cruises, as well as skuas and other migrating seabirds. It's an amazing experience you should not miss! These graceful giants dive spear-like into the water at up to 60 miles an hour. Then head out to sea to marvel at gannets diving around the boat for hand-thrown mackerel. This cruise first sails to the cliffs where gannets can be seen with their fluffy chicks on their nests. With an enormous 6-foot wingspan, the UK's largest seabird - the gannet - is a sight to behold, but to watch diving gannets is a spectacular experience. Our last 3 sailings will see puffins bobbing around on the sea rather than the cliffs, whilst gannets dive around the boat for mackerel that is thrown for them – a truly unforgettable sight as they plunge like lightning into the waves.
