Dolphin Mischief

A Season Record We’re beginning to think that our dolphins and buses run on the same schedule; just when you’re sitting about waiting for one, six turn up at once! We had a great day overall, with dolphins spotted on 3 our of 4 sailings, but the true jewel in today’s cetacean spotting crown was…

Hardy Hunters Our sightings today were somewhat few on both boats today, and we are not entirely sure why! This morning was miserable weather-wise but certainly not on the dolphin front, with a nice sighting of Kesslet thrashing about a massive salmon as she toddled her was up the river at the very start of…

Another Big 3 Day for Spirit AND Mischief! What a day! Not only Dolphin Spirit have a fantastic Big 3 day (and then some!), so did Mischief! Despite the forecast, the day was dry for the most part and while enjoying the calm, we also enjoyed some great sightings of the lovely local wildlife. Sightings…

Kesslet Joins the Hunt A grand day to be out on the Dolphin Spirit once again, with some fantastic sunshine through the early sailings and even better sightings, managing to fit all of the “Big 3” in throughout the day! The seal group was certainly enjoying the weather, popping up near the surface often through…

From Sailboats to RIBs! Moving on with the Meet the Team segment of the blog, we come to another of the Mischief skippers, John! Some of the more boaty folk around the marina and in the sailing community may already be familiar with John, as he headed up his own sail school before joining us!…

Quite the Crowd It was an enjoyable afternoon for Mischief up near Chanonry, where several groups of dolphins were milling around and hunting together. Dolphin Spirit didn’t have quite the same luck, as local fail-safe Kesslet was actually up at Chanonry too! She had taken Scoopy and Charlie with her as well, but seemed to…

Attack of the DSWs! For those who haven’t been out on a trip with us, the dreaded DSW (or Dolphin Shaped Wave) strikes most often during dolphin-watching trips on the Moray Firth on a windy day. For today, we were inundated with sightings of the DSWs, before the actual Ds (or Dolphins!) turned up in…

If Only! We wish we could see an osprey a day here at Dolphin Spirit, they are just such beautiful birds! That being said though, we were very lucky to see one hunting and hovering just over the Inverness Caley Thistle Stadium as we headed out this afternoon! It stuck around for a while, allowing…

Full of Enthusiasm! Continuing on with our skipper segment of the Meet the Team showcase, we’re moving onto Dolphin Mischief with today’s excitable skipper Gus! Out of all the Mischief skippers he is easily the newest to the gig, but he has taken it all in his stride and learned everything that was thrown at…

Making The Right Choice The Moray Firth has an abundance of wonderful wildlife, and an abundance of operators to take you to go and see it.
