- brucelK136UC00Fantastic boat tripA wonderful experience and what a great way to see Dundee!! No dolphin's today, but plenty of grey seals and loads of fun!
- KPM2500Great rib tripWhat a great trip. Thanks for the opportunity to come on this great trip around the Tay. What a different view you get of the harbour and amazing V&A and over to the shore line of Fife. We were lucky with the weather which was a bonus. Thank you :)
- GraemeB63900Must do for visitors and localsWe were very lucky with calm waters, sunshine and blue sky, but this is an amazing trip for everyone. We saw seals and sea birds as well as an amazing view of the V&A. Also got to see Dundee at work with some oil platforms and ships in for renovations. The skipper was friendly and knowledgeable so would highly recommend this trip.
- ruth c00RuthIt was so exciting to see Dundee and Fife from the Tay. Great experience and great guide and despite not seeing dolphins today we still had a good trip. I throughly recommend it.
- 191richs00Excellent Rib RideNice speedy run out to sea to look for dolphins and back up the river sightseeing. No dolphins this time just seals but it’s the place to spot them. Lots of local knowledge from the skipper who made everyone feel safe but still let it rip over the waves to get everyone smiling. Great value fun trip with my 7 year old son. Highly recommend.
- jily201900Great ExperienceDidn't see dolphins but lots of waves, got little wet which was fun :-) 9 year old was little scared but enjoyed it. 12 year old loved it.
- safetyheart00Trip on the TayGreat trip. Got quite close to the dolphins. Driver very knowledgeable when asked about the dolphins. Even the weather was great. Highly recommended
- Fiona L00Fun on the TayGreat experience going out on the Tay in the RIB. We did see dolphins but even if we hadn't, the whole thing was good - seeing the river and its surroundings from new angles. Really worthwhile!
- ScotsSkier00Incredible local wildlife knowledgeMy partner and I had a great trip last week - we were lucky enough to see a whole lot of dolphins and seals for the whole duration of the tour. Iain, the guide, has a phenomenal local knowledge and was absolutely brilliant and very welcoming. Would 100% recommend for locals and tourists alike!
- Laura R00Pirate Boats - Tay DolphinsAbsolutely Amazing!!! Really informative and Fun Tour, and the Dolphins were magical!! Definately returning!!!!
- graemeo5000Tay river tripHad a great trip out on the river,Richard was excellent as well,well worth the cost had a great hour on the river would go again
- shonaghf201600Great Fun!!!!!Went out with hubby, teenage son and younger daughter (who was a little apprehensive). Everyone absolutely loved it. What a great experience, to see the landmarks we’ve known all our lives from this perspective and learn a few new things about them too! Highly recommend this tour for locals and visitors alike. No dolphins today unfortunately but all the more reason to go back and have another try 😉😁
- ClaireMcGowan00FunWe had a great trip around the Tay, under the road bridge and up to the V and A and across towards Tayport. Really enjoyed seeing the oil rigs and the Curlew up close. We were lucky enough to see the dolphins too. Very knowledgeable host who was very friendly and seemed to enjoy his work. We will definitely book again next year
- DawnKsK00Fun tripWe had a great trip out on the Tay. Loved seeing the V&A museum close up from the river. Saw lots of dolphin activity. Would highly recommend.
- Fiona311200Pirate Boats are Brill!Ian was a very friendly and informative captain and tour guide. We only caught a tiny glimpse of the dolphins, but the rest of the trip was still worth it - slalums under Tay bridge, knowledge of some historic points of Dundee learned too. Will probably try and go again with other family members when they come to visit 💙🐳

We had a great time and got to see tons of dolphins up close, as well as a few seals. It was a really delightful thing to do while visiting Dundee!

The boat seafari trip with Saltdog Marine was fantastic. Very informative and beautiful scenery all around. I would definitely recommend this and will likely try out the 4 hour trip.

Incredible experience. Ian is a fantastic and knowledgable tour guide. My family took a tour recently and loved every minute of it! Having lived locally for many years, it's incredible to see the surrounding area from a completely different perspective, from tentsmuir, to the V&A and the wind turbines being assembled at Stannergate, we even managed a detour past the Larrick beacon. For local residents and tourists alike, this is a must-see experience for the whole family. 5 stars!

What an hour! A great blend of speed, history and wildlife. Our trip to spot dolphins and seals didn’t disappoint, with seals hanging around and plentiful dolphins swimming beside the boat for most of the time we were out. The team’s knowledge about, and respect of the wildlife was reassuring. Moreover, their local history information was shared simply, of interest, and memorable. Loved it! I will be sure to book again.

A great family experience. Exhilarating travelling fast over the water. Didn't see dolphins on this trip, but that didn't detract from the fun.
Great to see the city from a completely different perspective.
Wave to everyone, they all wave back.
Will do this trip again and highly recommend.

Simply a MUST DO if you are in the Dundee area! An exhilarating and fun experience for the whole family. Amazing views and always the chance of seeing dolphins or seals up close (we did!) and viewing the V&A from the water is very special.
Professionally run by pleasant and informative staff who make this a great day out and another reason to visit beautiful Broughty Ferry! 10/10

Enjoyable hour spent on trip up and down River Tay. Sea choppy so got some spray but that did not affect any enjoyment at all. Always wanted to 'sail' under the Tay Road Bridge. Now achieved. Also given 'up close' views of V&A and the Pile Lighthouse off Tayport. No Dolphins on our trip unfortunately.
