Shearwater Coastal Cruises

"Shearwater" is a luxury catamaran charter cruiser that is based in Pwllheli Marina on the llyn Peninsula of North Wales. Much more than a 'boat trip', Shearwater visits offshore seal and seabird colonies and is usually accompanied by resident dolphins. The crew actually undertake Photo-ID and monitoring tasks on the dolphins on behalf of the "Seawatch Foundation". The present "Shearwater" is newly built for 2010, having taken well over a year to construct by specialist boatbuilders.

The boat has twin decks, a dolphin watching platform on the bow, underwater video cameras to enable guests to watch bow-riding dolphins from underneath. There are disabled facilities on board, roomy toilet compartment with hot and cold running water in the washbasin. Complimentary tea/coffee and biscuits are served to all our guests on every cruise. Cruises can be booked through our agents, the Pwllheli Tourist Information Centre (01758 613000).
