Weather was great - Not sure about the trip though as the guide was obviously having a "bad hair day" and seemed to have an agenda about Multi nationals? Seems it was the fish farm that is the problem. It looked great to me and the other passengers but the guide made a lot of negative noises about it as... More

A glass bottomed boat gives you that extra flexibility if the weather's a bit iffy, and SeaProbe offers this around the Kyleakin area of Skye. Decent commentary, a friendly welcome and a mix of above the waves interesting birdlife/scenery and underwater wreckage goggling make for a good trip. Don't expect the same level of wow you might get in sunny... More

I can't really complain about the trip but maybe I was expecting to be vowed. We saw some birds and seals as soon as we started and the captain did a great job of talking us through and his assistant was also very helpful talking through the tour; the binoculars provided were very handy. The ship wreck is probably where... More

Apologies to those reading reviews for Seaprobe Atlantis, I cannot find Spirit of adventure listed on here and know that the sea fishing trips are run by the Seaprobe Atlantis team. I have just returned from Skye and feel that they deserve a positive mention and also to point out that they dont just do glass bottom boat trips. My... More

We felt scammed... we know that they do not control the seals and other animals, but I am pretty sure that on that day they knew we would not see anything, and when I asked if we would, the answer was "I think we will, we can't guarantee, but jump in". It was quite expensive (it seems to be quite... More

In response to your review, the skipper and all members of staff who might have been on duty on the unspecified day in April 2011 that you visited, have been contacted, and feedback is as follows: The question you asked - 'What you might be expected to see?' - is common, and the answer is always that no sightings can...

The boat was comfy and the scenery was fantastic but why oh why did the skipper have to go on about how terrible the salmon farmers are and how they are so bad for the wildlife especially the seals.. Of which we saw around 20!! I think that you need to change the record Nigel. More

Firstly, thank you for the positives in your review. With regard to the negatives, there is no record to change on board Seaprobe Atlantis. All commentary is live, and based entirely on what is relevant during the trip. If, during the course of the trip, seals which have been freshly shot through the head are found floating in the water... More

My wife and boys loved the tour, which is a combination of sightseeing on the top deck and underwater sightseeing on the bottom deck. We probably went on the wrong time of day and it was a bit rough so the water was quite cloudy but we still managed to see plenty of wildlife, etc. The tour guides knew their... More

I had never been on a glass bottom boat and obviously set my expectations too high! I spent over £25 to take myself and the two kids out for the 1 hour 15 minute cruise. We saw a a couple of birds and about 6 seals sitting on a rock. As for looking below the waves....I was gutted. It was... More

We are all sorry that you found your trip a little disappointing. The waters of the North West Coast of Scotland are renowned for their clarity, but even the clearest waters in the world are not always crystal clear. Fluctuations in visibility are normal, natural, and completely outwith the control of anyone involved in Seaprobe Atlantis. Likewise, while the scenery... More

From the chap in the ticket office to the skipper and Barry on board, this was a great and friendly experience I can really recommend. We did the 1.15hr trip, which took in the wreck of the Port Napier - don't expect to see a great hulk of rusting steel though - this has been completely claimed by the sea... More
