ST BRIDES BAY WATCH BOAT TRIPS

  We were a three generation party ranging from 79 to 6, did a short trip around Ramsey Island and all enjoyed it immensely. Ideal for children, with plenty of exciting... read more vroom vroom to get to each stopping site quickly without any boring chug-chugging bits. The adults loved the power boat too. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable. Birds and seals in profusion and very close but the dolphins and porpoises declined to make an appearance. However, the sun did!

  There are several boat trips around Ramsey Island but we’d recommend this one. All seem similar. High speed ridge boat, you straddle a narrow padded bench two to a seat... read more so you can hug your wife or children as the boat crashes down off a wave. 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.

  Great half day boat trip out to Grassholm, the Bishops and Ramsey. All that way and the Dolphins were in Ramsey Sound all along. Great fun trip - more impressed... read more with the seabirds on Grassholm that I thought I would be. Also saw an Atlantic Sunfish pass by the boat.

  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!!

  Amazing experience! Very friendly and helpful staff! I've been on this boat several times and wouldn't go with anyone else, the jokes never get old and the information is always... read more interesting and educational. Thanks team, what a great holiday treat!

  We have been on a number of trips to Ramsay Island and Skomer but this trip to Ramsay by Aquaphobia was by far the best. We were a party of... read more ages 3 to 62 and all were very excited following the trip. The kids talked about it endlessly. We entered caves seeing seals and bird life. The crew looked after us continuosly,
we felt well cared for. It wasn't cheap but we felt worth every penny. It was the highlight for our Pembrokeshire holiday.

  We loved our boat ride today! My four year old shouted "this is amazing!" as soon as we set off; she and the six year old, and all the adults... read more in the party, very much enjoyed the speedy riding over the waves, the cave visits, and seeing gannets, cormorants, oystercatchers, seals (including baby ones) and porpoises!

  As a boat trip, it was fine. Felt safe, but not very comfortable astride and quite cramped for over an hour. Also, unsurprisingly, very wet for over half of the... read more time. We saw seal pups and birds, porpoises were rare and fleeting.
However, what they DON’T tell you when you book is that people who are not young and fit may struggle to get off and on the RIB and also with the steepest. Of the jetty and quayside with the number of steps. I do feel this should be pointed out on booking. But, if you’re. Young and fit, go for it.

  My 2 grandsons screamed and laughed with excitement on their first ever boat ride. They loved it when the boat went fast and they loved seeing all the seals and... read more birds.
Captain Mark told us funny jokes and was very informative about the area. We will certainly go on another one.

  We had the best trip around Ramsey Island with Aquaphobia. They were very considerate with our two dogs as well. The trip was both informative and jovial, a... read more perfect combination. We saw the seals and their pups too. I wouldn't use anyone else. Can't wait to go again. Thank you so much. Judy and Viv xx

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

  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.

  Positive covid experience while the trip provided sights sound and amazing facts from Mark with his Welsh humour. Trip from start to finish was well organised and staff very friendly.... read more Loved it see you next year to experience the colony of birds in action. Thank you aquaphobia xx

  Friendly, helpful staff, free parking (next to the white aquaphobia ticket office at the Grove hotel, opposite the tourist info centre) and free minibus transfer down to the boat (about... read more 10 mins). 12 seater boat- great atmosphere, specially for kids- the comfy seats are a bit like sitting on a motorbike! Very knowledgeable skipper, he seems to know the waters around the island like the back of his hand. We had a great time and saw porpoises, seals and kittiwakes and learned about them and the caves and rock formations while cruising around the island (and into some caves!) - great for kids and adults alike, thank you- it was great!!

  The trip surpassed expectations. This was the last operator we tried as we had spotted it on the left on the way in, but went to the other operators in... read more the town first (now really pleased they were full). Free parking at the back and a lift down on the minibus. Tour was really fun, we saw porpoise, seals and seabirds. The skipper was very friendly and knowledgeable. A few steps fo negotiate but managed easily by the youngest (3yo) and oldest (73yo) members of our party. Would highly recommend it. Boat has a decent turn of speed too which was fun, but always felt 100% safe.

  Excellent trip this lunchtime. Round the island and saw the seals and bird life. Definitely recommended.

  We booked our trip at the kiosk in St David's for the following day. I said I would really love to see the puffins but lovely lady in the office... read more said unfortunately they have now left the island, they disappear around mid July, but we were told there will be seals and hopefully porpoises so we signed up for the following day. They asked if we would mind sharing the boat with another family and we will all need to wear a mask due to covid, which obviously was not a problem. What a fantastic trip!! Considering the skipper (Mark) does this trip day in and day out he was absolutely amazing and really keeps the trip fresh and alive! Mark was incredibly knowledgeable and fun for children and adults alike. It was a brilliant, exciting trip - the rib gets up to a really good speed and is great fun crashing through the waves, however, we felt completely safe at all times. The seals and pups were basking on the shore and we saw the porpoises too along with many native birds especially around the caves. Would highly recommend! Mark was definitely 5 star too!

  Wow. We had an amazing time. Terrific value for money. So much more than the ordinary run of the mill boat trips. Fantastic customer service from booking enquiry to dropping... read more us back on the free minibus. You even managed to impress our teenager! Could have stayed on that boat all day! Thank you.
