When the ‘May Day’ comes in when you respond and help, that’s the role and today, two of our skippers did just that.
Two of our RIBs were off Gulland island, when a DSC / mayday relay on the VHF alerted our skippers to a Mayday for 6 swimmers being washed out to sea off mother Ivy’s bay.
Thomas and Chloe were first on scene in ‘Illuminate’ and ‘Savannah’ 2 of our 10 meters vessels.
Thomas was able to recover 2 casualties, while Harlyn lifeguards recovered another and brought them to safety on the Padstow life boat slipway.
Chloe and went in search of the 3 other casualties being washed out to sea. She located 2 of them on the rocks where she stood by as the coast guard helicopter was inbound and Padstow sea life safaris RIB found the final swimmer being washed around towards Trevose head.
Undoubtedly the quick thinking member of the public who heard the shouts for help and everyone involved saved lives today.
A huge shout out to Padstow Coastguard, RNLI, PSL and my team of skippers, especially Thomas and Chloe today, who acted swiftly and professional to help facilitate the rescues and a massive shout out to passengers, who understood the severity of the situation and let the team do there thing. They will certainly have a good story to tell when they get home !

“Dad, your job is so boring”…
The greatest privilege is sharing the joy of our amazing environment and building a company around it to share it with your children !!!
Here is a great example of my eldest asleep while everyone marvels at some dolphins and a minke whale…..
Seriously do all kids find their parents this boring …. 🥱
Sorry Ella, but you crack your Dad up # # #

We do see Whales 🐳 on some of our trips.
The minke whale is the most common whale found in our waters, typically measuring 7 to 9 metres long. The minke whales today were feeding on bait-fish.
We often find them with dolphins and with the gannets feeding on the same bait.

We have news and it’s going to be big…..
But before we cut the ribbon (it might be a brand new boat !) here’s a reel of some of our recent adventures on the RIBS.
Don’t forget the new opens next week and our Water taxi can get you there from Padstow. (We’ve had a sneak preview and it’s amazing).
We will be open late on the water taxi for the .
Looks like we have surf on the horizon, so dust off the quiver or rent a board from us. (We have loads of new kit from )
Anyway the sun is out, the mood is good and we are almost ready for peak season.
