Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes, turn and face the south 😉 NEWT’s North Sea Pelagic 20/07/18
With a glassy calm river outside the marina, and a great forecast for the evening (after the rain had passed a couple of hour earlier), we had a dilemma. Allan had seen a group of White-beaked Dolphins in the deep south (or County Durham as its residents call it…) a couple of hours earlier so…

Quick start 🙂 NEWT’s North Sea Pelagic 18/07/18
There are days when we search for a long time before finding the wildlife that we’re searching for, there are days when despite our best efforts it eludes us, and then there was last night… Conditions were looking good with cloud cover and gentle swell so exactly what we’d hope for when we’re searching for…

A series of spectacular sunsets; NEWT’s North Sea Pelagics 04/07, 06/07 and 13/07/18
Some of our North Sea pelagic trips encounter whales and dolphins and lots of birds…and some don’t. Sometimes the most jaw-dropping thing isn’t the wildlife, but something equally unpredictable… Our 4hr evening sailings on 1st and 8th August still have a very limited number of spaces available, as do our 10hr Northumberland Ultimate Pelagic sailings on…

Dolphins; NEWT’s North Sea Pelagic 29/06/18
Our second 4hr evening pelagic of 2018 came a couple of days after our first – which had been a trip with more swell than expected and only a single sighting of a Bottlenose Dolphin that didn’t hang around to be admired by all on board… Friday’s forecast was much better though and I knew…

The Tall Ships are coming!
If you’d like something different, and outstanding photographic opportunities during the Parade of Sail during the Tall Ships regatta on August 29th, we’ve got a boat reserved (sailing from Amble at 10:30 and returning there once the Parade of Sail has finished which will probably be mid-afternoon) that will sit offshore from Blyth as the…

Becalmed; NEWT’s North Sea Pelagic 22/07/2014
Sometimes the North Sea is almost mirror-calm, an opportunity to watch the jellyfish passing by and lose yourself in the reflection of the sky 🙂 We’ve still got a few spaces on our Farne Deeps trips, which are our best trips for encountering White-beaked Dolphin and other marine mammals, on 12th and 28th August from…

Bottlenose Dolphins; Farne Islands safari 06/06/2014
Whenever I head out for a day guiding clients, I have a plan. Occasionally we deviate from that plan… I was heading to collect Liz and Mark from the Lord Crewe in Bamburgh, for their Farne Islands prestige tour, and I thought I knew what we’d be doing throughout the day – a walk along…
