The Vessel
Quick Cat II spotter aircraft
We are the only company which owns a spotter aircraft. While years ago it was essential that the eye in the sky was out there, these days the air craft is used more as a security measure being used daily at the start and end of the season and on days when spotting from the vessels may be a little harder than normal.
Please note, this tour departs on 7:00am till 12:00pm and again at 1:00pm till 5:00pm daily from mid July till early November.
