Wonderful experience. The best thing we've done in Torquay. Would highly recommend it. We got to see lots of wildlife, the skipper had a great sense of humour and shared interesting information about the islands and wildlife.
Loved it! But not for the faint of heart!

This was a very cool experience... but i'd liken it to riding a roller coaster. Very fast boat on very choppy water...
Faster than we thought, the boat, not the experience

This was amazing - I cannot recommend it enough. Our boat operator was brilliant and knew a lot about the area and we saw seals, dolphins and he took us into a cave. Our tour was scheduled for an hour but as we were coming back into the marina we saw a dolphin and he sat out on the water for an extra 15mins so we could watch the dolphin play. Definitely worth the money and the best part of my trip.
Excellent way to explore the coast!

Amazing trip out on the English Riviera! Weather wasn’t playing ball but our RIB was expertly skippered by Greg, who was not only exceptionally skilful but full of facts and a good laugh too. The conditions made for an unforgettable trip, hugely exhilarating and all to the soundtrack of Bob Marley. Although we didn’t see much wildlife due to the weather, I’d recommend it in heartbeat. Thanks also to Abi whose customer service is second to none. I’ll be back (hopefully when the sea is calmer, but where would the fun be in that?!)

Was really looking forward to this trip having travelled down to Devon. Disappointingly it was cancelled on the morning of the trip due to a lack of participants.

Torquay watersports are the most fab company in the bay, no one compares to these guys! I have been out with them countless times and they never fail to disappoint, always super friendly and they know all the best spots. I’ve seen dolphins on near enough every trip, the sunset trips are a personal favourite of mine. Don’t just take my word for it, get out there and see for yourself!

Brilliant trip with Greg who was amazing. We saw a seal and loads of dolphins. He knew exactly where to look. Indeed the dolphin whisperer. We saw cormorants, egrits and lots of other birds. The trip was soo good !!!

What a wonderful experience! We were lucky enough to see dolphins, which was an absolute highlight. The crew were knowledgeable, entertaining, and clearly passionate, making the trip both fun and informative. This is a fantastic way to experience the true beauty of Torquay – far better than spending the day shopping. Highly recommended.
Great trip

We had a fantastic skipper ensured we learnt a little and had lots of fun! We were delighted to see 2 seals and hear about the other wildlife in the area.
