We're still replaying our wonderful encounter with John Coe and Aquarius.
Amazing to think it’s exactly one year to the day since they passed through these waters, having last been spotted in this same location on 10th July ‘23. A little bit more from yesterday’s special trip...

What a special day it was as we accompanied Joe Coe and Aquarius on our way home from the Great Blasket Island this evening.

April consistently stands out as one of our preferred months for observing marine life. The surge of plankton attracts Basking Sharks in abundance, and this week has been no exception! A special thank you to @aidans_lens for capturing an incredible shot during our tour yesterday!

P.s if you want to check out what’s in store, tune into UK Channel 5 where Emily and Dan (last years caretakers) catch up with Ben Fogle and give a snippet of their Island stint.
