    Had a magical wildlife trip, we spotted numerous porpoises and even got to see the Clyde pod of bottle nose dolphins. Jason the skipper was friendly and full.of information. Felt very safe on his boat.

    Had a fantastic experience filming out on the Holy Loch with Jason on a very rainy January morning. He went out of his way to provide our crew with everything we needed, and options for all eventualities and was very professional and experienced in dealing with all our requests! He provided local knowledge of Dunoon and where to stay/eat etc. Would highly recommend Wreckspeditions for personal or professional hire! Thanks so much

    A small group of us asked Jason from Wreckspeditions if we could book the starfish enterprise for a 1/2 day boat trip, in order to try and get a sighting of the bottlenose dolphins. We met at Inverkip marina, where we were given a safety briefing before boarding the Starfish Enterprise (Cool name). Less than 10 minutes into our trip, we had an amazing encounter with the dolphins. Jason was very professional and followed the Scottish Wildlife watching code. Keeping his distance to avoid any change to their natural behaviors. We then headed out to the sugar boat for a trip around the wreck. Followed by an amazing cup of coffee and a homemade flap jack and a chat. On our way back to the marina, we had the most amazing, unique experience with the same pod of dolphins. They decided to bow ride, They were within touching distance. Breaching and showing off! To sum up my trip. BETTER THAN PERFECT! A day i will never forget. Thanks Wreckspeditions. We’ll be back.

    Booked for two dives .What can I say . Very welcoming very professional and knowledgeable . Now I been on a RIB before when diving put the way he has this set up ie getting divers kit on no rush nice and relax not rushing lots of space for divers to set up and the easy way getting back on out of the water sooo easy and he puts your fins on 🤩 made the day more relaxing and enjoyable and stress free . But the surprise was coffee and tea with biscuits. But hot chocolate with marshmallows and cream . 5 star ⭐️ treatment . As a dive club we will be defo be booking the charter again . Thanks Jason from boness sub Aqua club . Ps was my first wreck dive as well glad it was with you and your boat RIB

    Had a fantastic trip out today with Jason. Very exhilarating out on the water in the fresh air. Saw the lighthouse up close and the pier. Got so close to a wreck we could nearly touch it. Lots of seabirds and different types of other vessels. All really interesting. And of course some seals and porpoises leading us a dance but showing themselves now and again just magical. All of this along with Jason’s informative narration pointing out lots of interesting points on and off shore. We all really enjoyed our wonderful sea adventure and would be sure to go out again when back in Dunoon.
