About
The Ermol Boat evening cruise departs daily (weather permitting) from the picturesque village of New Quay. Our experienced skipper and enthusiastic guide will tell you all about our marine wildlife while visiting the local dolphin hot spots. Enjoy breathtaking coastal scenery and the chance to see it all in the golden light of golden hour. Spot marine life including Atlantic grey seals, Harbour porpoise and of course, some of our many resident Bottlenose dolphins.
Our multi passenger boats are purpose built for your enjoyment of the wildlife and scenery with long expansive bench seating along the whole length of the boat offering excellent daylight and views of the many seabirds that nest and feed from the cliffs. The unique hull design makes our Ermol boats more stable in choppy seas and also extremely effective in the shallow New Quay harbour. This boat has cushioned seating and a canopy over half the seating.
