Yeoman Bank

It is the end of an era at Glensanda Super Quarry. The Yeoman Bank has finished her time running stone from the quarry. Her final visit was on the 8th of August, she headed off with her last load of granite gravel. Since the early 90’s she has carried over 34 million tons! Incredible.

Common Indeed

In the past few weeks the common dolphins have been about in huge numbers. They have been regulars in the Firth of Lorne, Ross of Mull, around Staffa, Treshnish also Out West and at Ardnamurchan. Always a joy to watch and see them interacting with the boat and the wake.

Finally

After a fresh start to August the weather has finally settled. The swell has dropped away and the sun has come out too. Lots of different trips recently from round Mull to runs up to Loch Leven. Plenty of wildlife about too. The common dolphins seem to be out in huge numbers spread all over the coastal waters.

Juveniles

Most of the white tailed sea eagles nests have proven strong this season. Some have had twins but most singles. It is epic to see these birds grow and see the shear size of them at such a young age.

06/08/2025

Basking

The team are on their annual stay on the island of Coll, assisting Basking Shark Scotland. It has been an amazing start to the season. Plenty of basking sharks and some incredible encounters. Great to see them back in big numbers. There have been some challenging times too, with the recent weather and Storm Floris passing through.

JC

The legendary Orca John Coe made an appearance this week. Many people were relieved as there had been sightings of Aquarius off the Irish coast for a number of days but alone. Thankfully JC turned up in the Coll and Tiree waters.

Chicks

Over the season the team and the guests have seen the chicks grow and then fledge. Some are quicker than others and some take their time. The Treshnish Isles are ideal for seeing this first hand. As the islands start to get quieter with the birds they and now seen more on the water. 2025 is rattling on by.

Early Bird

Struan had a cracker of a start to the day. On his way to his first charter the sunrise was incredible. The Ronja Christopher heading for Oban.

Doddie Aid Auction

Back in early 2024 there was a big dinner and auction before the big cycle to Rome. In the auction was a trip to Coll for lunch at the Hotel then a tour of Ardnamurchan Distillery. Due to the terrible 2024 summer weather it was rescheduled for this season. It couldn’t have been a better day for it. Plenty of wildlife and laughs along the way.

15/07/2025

Lismore Landing

Struan had an amazing day out with a regular customer this week. The calm weather and dry spell allowed the guests to land and explore. Struan dropped the hook below Castle Coeffin, a 13th century site teaming with history and stories. Ideal to get ashore and explore. After that was a tasty lunch at the Pier House then a play in the Falls of Lora.

Summer Weather

The weather has been a wee bit of a challenge at times. The team are waiting for a steady high pressure to return. In the meantime they have been dodging the weather and keeping to more sheltered waters. The wildlife hasn’t let the side down though.

30/06/2025

Lunga Love

The season is shooting on by but the bird life on Lunga is fantastic. Some steady numbers of puffins, razorbills, fulmars, guillemots and kittiwakes. Puffins always there to add a comical effect, especially when they come in to land.
