Isles of Scilly (AM): St. Mary's - SeaQuest Glassbottom Boat Tour
Explore the incredible marine wildlife of the Isles of Scilly!
Experience the Isles of Scilly like never before aboard SeaQuest, the first and only glass-bottom boat in the archipelago. This 30-foot passenger launch features unique ocean-viewing windows, allowing up to 12 passengers to enjoy continuous underwater views while seated comfortably under a covered top.
Discover uninhabited islands teeming with life, including resident Atlantic Grey Seals, Gannets, Cormorants, and vibrant kelp forests and sea grass. With a bit of luck, you might even spot Dolphins. This tour offers a stunning glimpse into the diverse marine life and scenic beauty of the eastern archipelago.
The Scilly Isles are known for their rich wildlife and intriguing shipwreck history. Encounter Seals, Puffins (in season), Gannets, Guillemots, and Fulmars, with occasional Dolphin sightings. While the shipwrecks themselves are too deep to view from the boat, the stories and history surrounding them add to the allure of this wild and treacherous area.
Please note that tour routes may vary depending on weather and tide conditions. Join us aboard SeaQuest for an unforgettable exploration of the Isles of Scilly’s underwater wonders and coastal treasures.
We remind guests that wildlife sightings are not guaranteed, and that the operation of the tour is weather-dependent.
