Ramsey Island boat trips

  Excellent trip in a skiff around Ramsey Island. There were four of us in the semi rigid inflatable boat. Mark and Sue who managed the boat were obviously very... read more knowledgeably. You may need to think twice about doing this if you are an elderly person because getting in and out of the boat can be quite hard.

  There are several boat trips around Ramsey Island but we’d recommend this one. All seem similar.

It’s great fun, very safe but with the edge of being on a speed boat at sea. Crew very friendly, take you all round the island, pointing out interesting parts, driving into bays to see seals and their pups. There was a couple with very young children/toddlers but personally I would not take a child under 5/6 especially in rough seas as you do need to hold on. Great fun though.

  We managed to get a trip without prior booking ( probably not recommended if you want a specific day or time) Friendly company and we could leave our car in... read more free car park and taken by mini bus to the boat. You sit astride on the seats and the boat goes fast!! We went round Ramsey Island £ 28 per adult and it was great to go around this island and go into caves, see the nesting birds and seals. Obviously there’s no guarantee you will see anything! The water was beautifully clear and so also saw some jellyfish! It was a fun quick hour - enough for me as I’m not great on long boat trips!! …

Well worth the money
One thing to note, the trips were advertised for all ages, getting down to the boat involves lots of steep steps and getting on to the rib requires a good level of mobility. As you are required to site astride the seats you need to be able to get your leg up and over in a fairly small space.

  I had a great time for the whole 2 hours. We seen puffins and we seen many seals chilling in the sun. The guide, Steph was very knowledgeable, probably the... read more most knowledgeable guide I ever had.

The guys on the boat (RIB) were great, attentive, chatty, it all felt safe and professional. The trip was great, a bit of speed, a bit of bouncing on waves, porpoise watching, seals and seal pups, caves.

  Simply superb personal service throughout the whole experience. Booking, Minibus Transfer, Boat Trip all faultless. It was all about the quality and great attitude from all the team. Skipper had... read more great local knowledge and safety on board was spot on. We did Somerset and Ramsey 2 hour trip which was worth every penny. Our party was grand parents, grand children and all in between all just loved it. My view is they have the best offering in St.Davids. Higjly reccomend.

Temperature taken... read more and hand sanitizer. Social distance in minibus. Yes a minibus lift to the boat , not sure if the other boat trip companies offered that?The driver gave a little info about the local area. The boat was clean and life jackets given. The 70 minute ride was very scenic going round the ramsey island, seeing porpoises, baby seal pups, gannets and went into a cave. Do have to be quite fit though as alot of steps at the launch area and getting in and out of boat needs you to be agile. Reasonable price too compared with other companies.

  Amazing experience, was such fun! All Covid guidelines were followed so there was no worry or stress! Would 100% recommend.

We... read more had Mark (skipper) and Eirlys (Snowdrop) in a 280 horsepower rib. Our trip left and returned on time. We had booked the entire boat privately because, having stayed in St Brides bay for over 20 yrs, we wanted to see things from the sea (and no one else wanted to book this trip I guess). Mark was a great skipper and very knowledgeable about the coats having been here since a boy. Eirlys was very knowledgeable about the history of the area, having been recently involved in an archaeological dig nearby; also really nice to chat with. Mark timed it all very well; we managed about half of the bay in 2 hours then blasted back across the flat-calm bay at high speed. A really lovely informative and exciting trip. We might do the other half of the bay next year.
Note: the rib is black rubber which can leave marks on light-coloured trousers when climbing in and out.

We saw seals, both swimming in the water and saw females waiting to give birth on the beaches around the Island. We were lucky enough to see some newly born seal pups too. Our guide knew we may see porpoises because the gannets were circling above, a sign the porpoises were chasing fish to the surface of the water. He was so right!! We were lucky to see the porpoises. A great trip, I would highly recommend. …
