Local Wildlife
The Moray Firth is a Special Area of Conservation, home to an amazing variety of marine life. The RSPB reserve at Troup Head boasts mainland Scotland’s only gannet colony and there are opportunities to see thousands of seabirds including gannets, guillemots, puffins, fulmars and kittiwakes.
Encounters with the resident bottlenose dolphins, porpoises and grey and common seals are possible year round. Summer visitors to the Firth include minke whales and the occasional basking shark!
Scenery
Fast and manoeuvrable, Buchaneer is able to explore a large range of this, one of Scotland's finest stretches of coastline, with spectacular cliffs, stacks, natural arches, caves, coves and secluded bays.
Trips also take in the beautiful traditional fishing villages of Gardenstown, Crovie and Pennan, the working harbour of Macduff, historical Banff and Portsoy harbours and the dramatic ruins of 13th century Findlater Castle.
