Shearwater Coastal Cruises based in Pwllheli Marina, offer cruises along the North Wales coast and offshore islands of the Llyn Peninsula, visiting seal and seabird colonies, and are often visited by the local dolphins!
Alan Gray, the proprietor is delighted to announce the arrival of his new 50 feet long and almost 18 feet wide catamaran 'Shearwater' and adds “with an operating weight in excess of 20 tons, she is very stable, particularly as she is a catamaran, she is unique and there is nothing elsewhere in the UK that can compare with her.
We have a forward viewing platform on the fore-deck, where people can simply stand by the forward rails of the boat and look down on bow-riding dolphins. We have twin decks, so we can seat 10 people on the stern deck and 10 people above them on the fly-deck. The lounge is huge with comfortable seating for people who don't want to be outside. The huge picture windows enable people in the lounge to just relax and view the passing scenery, wildlife and anything else in view, so the less energetic can just sit, watch and enjoy. We have underwater TV cameras, to enable people in the lounge to watch the bow-riding dolphins on our large TV monitor from an underwater perspective. We have a separate galley on the boat and provide complimentary tea and coffee on every cruise (you have never
tasted a better cup of tea than one at sea) and we even provide the biscuits!”
The new "Shearwater" is the first 'Class VI' passenger vessel to be built in the U.K. for 4 years, and therefore incorporate all the extra safety measures and level access through the stern-gates allows easy access for wheelchair users. |
