Safari by Mull Charters

Cruising amidst spectacular scenery and outstanding geology, passing sandy beaches, deserted islands and towering cliffs.

The area is rich in history, folklore and legends. We look for Basking Shark, Minke Whales and other marine animals and sea birds depending on time of year. Because of the area in which we operate we also see a huge variety of sea birds, mammals and other creatures.

On a recent sea angling trip we encountered 2 Sun Fish, giant wanderers of the ocean which had come inshore following jelly fish. Basking sharks are also seen during the summer months as are Minke Whales. Dolphins and Porpoise also frequent the area and always bring a smile to those aboard.

Sometimes Golden Eagles can be seen soaring over the peaks and cliffs while Otters hunt the waters along the shore. Our regular trips to see the White Tailed Sea Eagles usually result in the birds coming to 'check out' our boat resulting in a wildlife encounter straight out of a TV programme. In fact BBC film crews have used our services for this purpose in the past!

Over the last two years we have been developing a trip especially designed to get nature lovers and photographers as close as possible to the 4th largest Eagle in the world, the magnificent White Tailed Sea Eagle. These spectacular birds have wingspans in some cases of over 8 feet. Although much more accepting of human presence than Golden Eagles, most people’s experience of these birds consist of seeing them fly high overhead or sit for hours in a tree! On a Mull Charters trip we regularly have eagles taking fish from the surface of the sea as close as 25 feet away (yes really). Sometimes as they swoop down on their final approach they actually fly directly over the boat and as they take the fish you can hear the wind through their wings and the splash as they touch the water.
