Dolphins

Dolphins are seen around the East Coast however sightings cannot be guaranteed. We have taken lots of video footage and have still shots from customers and ourselves. It is most likely to see them at the start and end of the summer when the waters are quieter (May & October)

Flying Fish

Flying Fish are also commonly seen around the East Coast.

Mediterranean flying fish - Cheilopogon heterurus : 

They can grow to a maximum 40cm long, can fly over long distances (40m) and it is thought that this is to avoid danger. This flying fish is not commercially exploited although it is very good to eat. They spawn in the summer months with eggs with filaments over the surface of the water.
