Whale picture taken from Charter Boat Laurenca
Come with us aboard charter boat "Laurenca" a fully equipped 38ft Aquastar
and enjoy a whole day whale watching around our Scottish Islands.

 

Go Whale Watching in the beautiful plankton rich unpolluted waters around Ardnamurchan peninsula and the Inner Isles. See the small rocky islands with white sandy beaches surrounded by beautiful turquoise sea.
Using Skipper Andy Jackson's skill and years of experience plus Laurenca's navigation and depth sounding equipment, we can locate cetaceans in the deep waters off our shores. Whales, Dolphins and Porpoise, also Europe's largest fish - the Basking Shark are all to be found here.

Then on to visit the Island of Muck which the MacEwan family has owned since 1896. There are lovely walks, beautiful white sandy beaches, seals, birds and wild flowers. There is also a small craft shop and licensed restaurant.

Itinerary

Set out after breakfast leaving our purpose built facilities at Laga Bay - Ardnamurchan at about 9.30am or if it is nearer your holiday accommodation we can pick up at Kilchoan, Drimnin or Tobermory.

Head out towards the beautiful cairns of Coll passing Ardnamurchan point and the most westerly lighthouse in Britain.

Here we often see basking sharks as well as minke whales and occasionally orca and where the grey and common seals do the "people spotting" from beautiful shell sand beaches and rocky islets.

Skipper Andy

uses "Laurencas' G.P.S. navigation & sophisticated sonar systems plus his years of personal experience and expert knowledge to find the plankton, shoals of small fish, huge variety of seabirds and correct seabed topography which are all indicators of cetacean feeding grounds. We are also in contact via VHF radio with other vessels in the area who help in the "watch".

 

Soon we approach the Island of Muck
