Fun in the Sun Over the past week, we have seen the return of young Charlie, Kesslet’s 9-year-old son, to the Kessock Channel for a bit of fun and mischief. Much like his mum was at that age, Charlie is incredibly energetic and social around boats, earning him the title of “urban dolphin”. He’s been…

Scottish Weather Never Guaranteed! Up here in the north of Scotland, we can almost never predict the weather, and sometimes even the Met Office gets a little confused! “Oh no,” we hear you cry, “but I booked on a day it was meant to be sunny! Now it’s raining!” It’s a very typical scenario, for…

Let Your Hound Join In The Fun! Planning a trip to Inverness in the coming weeks? Looking for something fun that everyone can do; even the dog? One thing we at Dolphin Spirit understand is an owner’s want (and sometimes even need!) to bring their hound everywhere they go. As most of us are dog…

May Gets Off To A Splashing Start! The start of May has brought us some brilliant weather and the Moray Firth seems to have sprung alive! We’ve been seeing a lot of Kesslet aboard the Dolphin Spirit, but she isn’t the only visitor making our passengers “ooh” and “ahh” just now. Dolphin Mischief has been…

If you are coming aboard to celebrate a special occasion, like a birthday, engagement, or even a hen or stag party, please make sure to let…

The Bad News… Unfortunately we have some rather sad news about Kesslet’s latest calf, nicknamed “Kessickle”. On the afternoon of April 9th, our 4pm sailing encountered a rather sleepy Kesslet with her young calf around Meikle Mee. All seemed well then, with the youngster rather active around Kesslet as she rested after a long day…

The 2017 season is off to a good start. With good weather on day one (1st April) and lots of wildlife activity. Here’s a video showing what you can expect when you sail onboard Dolphin Spirit.

For Your Comfort & Enjoyment We want you to enjoy your experience aboard Dolphin Mischief. It’s likely to be one of the more exciting and bracing things you’ll do during your visit to the Highlands. So please! Take careful note of what I’m about to tell you. When you look at pictures of the Dolphin…

We can’t shout about it enough; 2017 is going to be the biggest and best year yet for Dolphin Spirit! Don’t get us wrong, 2016 was a brilliant year; our 5-star quality assurance rating from Visit Scotland was the icing on a delicious cake made up of tremendous sightings, a whole load of new experiences, and of course, visits from…

Our first sailing today has been an incredible success! Although Kesslet made an appearance in the distance it was Charlie who stole the show. Some fantastic photos and videos were captured by our guide of today, Krystyna. Seals were also spotted by our lucky visitors today; we’re keeping an eye out for the harbour seal…

A beautiful photo sent in by a customer who attended our midday sailing aboard the Dolphin Spirit on Saturday the 27th of June. They were lucky enough to have a close encounter with some of the largest bottlenose dolphins in the world. Despite the dull weather, our guests had a fantastic time thanks to our…

Thought you might be interested to see a picture of Dolphin Spirit at her berth in Inverness Marina. We’ve tried to make access easy for as many visitors as possible. There are no steps to climb. You’ll walk to the boat along the gently inclined ramp access used for the marina itself. When you get…
