Absolutely wonderful! It was my 2.5 year old’s very first time on a boat and it couldn’t have gone better. The captain and crew are clearly experts regarding all things safety, weather, dolphins and sea-life. Even when we had to rebook due to the storm, Joanna and the staff at the phone were so kind and helpful. Seeing the dolphins was unforgettable, but even if we didn’t see any, it would have been great fun. New Quay is gorgeous in rain and sun. The sea watch charity was really welcoming to my son, lovely seafood and ice cream and cute shops. Lots to see and do, so we look forward to returning.
We booked onto the 1.5 hour trip on the brand-new boat Suncatcher and from start to finish the whole experience was just fantastic. The booking process at the office the day before was quick and easy, with really friendly staff who clearly love what they do. The Suncatcher itself is brilliant – modern, comfortable, and well designed with an indoor seating area, full toilet facilities, and even a snack bar serving hot and cold drinks. It can seat up to 75 people, but on our trip there were fewer than 20, which made it feel really spacious and relaxed. The sea was a little choppy (it was October, so to be expected) but the sun was shining and the atmosphere on board was wonderful. Best of all – the dolphins did not disappoint! We saw so many, including the absolutely magical experience of them surfing the bow wave right beneath us. They came so close we could almost reach out and touch them. It’s something we’ll never forget. Sarah, who guided the trip, was absolutely superb – incredibly knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and clearly passionate about Cardigan Bay and its wildlife. She made sure everyone had the best possible chance of seeing the dolphins, pointing them out and sharing fascinating facts along the way. A big bonus for us was being able to bring our two Labradors along – the boat is very dog friendly, and they loved every second as much as we did! This was a truly special experience from start to finish – well-organised, welcoming, comfortable, and above all unforgettable thanks to the incredible wildlife encounters. We can’t recommend it highly enough – if you’re in New Quay, this is an absolute must-do!
Really great experience. Went on the 90 minute trip . Be sure not to confuse the company with a similarly named one operating at the same pier. The weather was not amazing (heavy rain at times) but the female guides were very helpful, informative, and wiped down the seats regularly from the rain. They helped get our pram and dogs on/off the boat. Has an inside area in the boat too. We saw plenty of dolphins, which the guides pointed out to us, some of which came right up to the boat, absolutely amazing for pictures and viewing. Also got to see a seal too. We had a 3 years old daughter with us and the captain was so amazing, he let her sit in the captains seat and made her happy and feel special.
We went early in the morning, and prior to departure on the 1.5hr trip we saw dolphins in the pier. The boat trip itself was amazing. Saw many dolphins including mother and calf, as well as seals & rare sea birds. The staff on the boat were so friendly, informative and welcoming. Overall a fabulous and memorable trip. Would recommend to anyone!
We went for the 1.5 hr trip. Christian and Phoebe were amazing. They made the trip fun with their jokes and also shared a lot of information about the area. We got to see a lot of dolphins, seals and even huge crabs and a lobster from the pot that they had put out the night before. Its definitely worth doing and I would highly recommend it.
