Ramsey Island boat trips

  A great boat trip enjoyed by 3 generations and a dog. Great communication on initial phone call and a well organised boat trip. High speed and seal spotting. Loved it!

  We came to St David’s and stumbled upon aquaphobias booking office where we was met by a lovely lady who gave us so much information and we decided to book... read more on as a family of 2 adults and 2 children.

We were asked if we were happy to share the boat ride with another couple/family which we agreed and was assured it would be kept safe and it was exactly that.

Everyone wore masks on the bus journey down to the boat and at all times on the boat and we could not of felt anymore safer. It was a breath of fresh air to see a company following all covid-19 regulations whilst still allowing the most amazing trip that my children and we thoroughly enjoyed.

Thank you aquaphobia for the brilliant trip, I will be recommending your trips to everyone.

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.

The Ramsay trip was as fun and informative as ever and the whole experience felt Covid secure with the boat cleaned between trips and everyone temperature checked and using face coverings. The addition of the car park and shuttle facility from St David's (and Mark's unique commentary) put these guys ahead of the other local operators.

Great being able to park... read more in St Davids and having a free shuttle back and too to the boat. 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. …

An amazing trip around Ramsey, Mark was very knowledgeable as was Eirlys. We saw pods of porpoise and a variety of sea birds, all were highlighted and plenty of time to see them in their natural habitat. Unfortunately I'm not the most graceful of people and I'm sure getting on and off the rib would create anxiety for some - me included but it wasn't an issue and to be told the 'safest way to get on and off is the way feel comfortable' was a huge relief. Big thanks to all, my 10 year old stated that it was the best day ever.

  Absolutely incredible experience!! Saw plenty of wildlife including porpoises. Great boat and staff are very knowledgable. It was a great price too. Thank you for an amazing trip!!
