Coastal Voyages Aberaeron West Wales

The Cardiganshire coastline from the sea


Explore the inshore waters of Cardigan Bay West Wales from the catamaran Atlantic Leopard, and see the Cardigan Bay wildlife and rugged coastline at its most stunning.

What you will see

 

The 1 and 2 hour voyages explore the inshore waters of Cardigan Bay, giving a totally different perspective of the stunning West Wales coastline, much of which is inaccessible from the land.
There is a great variety of wildlife in Cardigan Bay, and we offer the opportunity to see the birds and animals at close quarters in their natural environment.

Look out for dolphins following the boat

The experienced and knowledgeable crew provide an informative commentary throughout the voyage and are more than happy to answer any questions you may have.


About the Boat

The bowave of the Atlantic Leopard

 

The Atlantic Leopard is a multipurpose craft, which has been designed and built specifically for Coastal Voyages.
The vessel is a 10m-aluminium catamaran, 4.5m across the beam, which provides a very stable platform and comfortable ride even in choppy seas.

 

In addition to carrying passengers, Atlantic Leopard operates as a commercial fishing boat and undertakes scientific research.

The design of the boat allows us to safely carry passengers on working voyages so that we can offer an insight into the fisheries and marine research which takes place in Cardigan Bay.


There is access for disabled persons, including those in wheelchairs, on the boat.
