Catch of the Day! A productive day of plastic fishing accompanied our Father’s Day coastal cruises with some specimen finds including this traffic cone and a mass of nylon line.

All items will now be recycled and will no longer present a danger to our marine wildlife.

Thank you to all our passenger guests for your assistance in carrying out this important work.

Today we ventured along the remote and mysterious Exmoor coast to the pretty fishing village of Lynmouth.

Described as the ‘Hidden Edge of Exmoor’ this is where the second highest tides in the world do battle with the highest sea cliffs in England and have the scars to tell. Often an inhospitable and formidable place but today a thing of beauty ☀️☀️

This coastline boasts some of the most spectacular sights in the whole country, with hanging waterfalls, dark shadowy zawns or ‘Guts’ and the hustle and bustle of towering sea bird colonies, including our favourite Kittiwake Gully.

Join us next time for this fantastic voyage and hear tales of smuggling, buried treasure, German U-boat landings and the ‘Girt Fish’ of Wringapeak – a sea monster with jaws the size of barn doors!

Have a great week 🙂

Kittiwake is heading to Lundy Island this Saturday!

Depart Ilfracombe 0930 on Saturday 1st June for a full day at Lundy swimming with the seals and exploring the hidden coastline learning about the history and wildlife this mysterious Island has to offer. If however, you dont fancy a dip with the seals, you can stay onboard and drink hot chocolate!

On our last visit, we saw so many Puffins, we knew we had to return again soon to show another lucky 12 people.

We supply snorkles, masks and fins and can arrange for the hire of a winter wetsuit for just £10 (we need to know in advance if you require this).

The cost for a whole day exploring is £90 per person. We even supply tea and coffee!

We are so excited to share our latest news! Exactly one year ago today Kittiwake passed her final inspection and shortly afterwards we started our very special coastal cruise and charter adventure. One year on we have just opened our very own ticket office and welcome point on the quayside at Ilfracombe Harbour!

As you can see Kittiwake crew members Becci and Jenson are ready to tell you all about our upcoming sailings, spectacular destinations and the most recent wildlife sightings!

Please come along when you are next at the harbour, even if it’s just to say hello. You will always be met with a warm welcome and a big smile 🙂

Ps. Well done Jenson for your creative skills in making the design tell the Kittiwake story perfectly 👍

Tomorrow! (Friday) a fabulous Wildlife Safari to Lundy Island onboard Kittiwake!

A huge shout out to the amazing organisation Clean Boating based in Cala D’or, Mallorca! Kittiwake crew members Mike and Tania met with Michael and Silja at the Palma Boat Show last weekend and found out more about the great conservation work they are doing around the island.

Recruiting a network of boating ‘activists’ they provide equipment for plastic fishing, recycling solutions and work with local schools, raising awareness of the blight of plastic pollution in our blue spaces. Some of the recovered plastic is used in creative workshops producing fabulous artwork. Truly inspirational!

Check out these images which include their most recent addition of bespoke tote bags made from recycled sailcloth and sold to help fund their great work.
