Dolly P Boat Trips, St Ives

We took the seal Island boat trip, which lasted one hour. Dolly briefed us well regarding safety and helped us with the live jackets. Mike the captain and the other Mike who was actually conducting the tour were very friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. We saw lots of seals and had a great time. The boat ride and cliff views are also fantastic. There were babies and a dog on our trip and it was safe and comfortable for all. Definitely recommend.

Dolly P is a friendly and well organized company offering boat trips to see local marine life. Mike told us lots of interesting information about what can be seen in the local area and had engaging questions for the guests to try and answer. The boats look well kept and have a comfortable central cushion as seating as well as bays on each side. We greatly enjoyed our day out with the Dolly P and will be back again soon.

What a fantastic experience, Mike our guide and Mike our Skipper on the Dolly P were incredible. Not only did Mike give us really interesting facts about the Seals and wildlife, but he shared many person stories and he answered all our questions. Mike also helped our reluctant Lab who wasn’t sure about the step on to the boat. In his words, handling a Lab is easier than a seal. We even had our perfect harbour pilot, Wings the seal.

We’ve just been on the 1hr boat trip and it was awesome. Everyone was super friendly and made us feel totally at ease and felt in safe hand with Mike and Mike the boat drivers. They both work for the life boat too and had loads of knowledge and experience about the local wildlife. Thank you

We had a fantastic boat trip on the Dolly P with the 2 Mikes by St Ives Boats.Can’t recommend enough. We went with 3 adults and 3 children ages 1,3 and 7 and there was something for everyone.We were lucky enough to see a large group of seals close up - they were super chilled and the boat team were incredibly respectful of not encroaching on their space or scaring them away.Mikes knowledge on sea life is out of this world - he shared so many fascinating stories and scientific facts about whales and seals - we could have kept on listening all day !Thanks for a great trip!

We had an amazing boat trip, felt very safe and we were very well looked after. Mikes knowledge was incredible and we learnt lots! It was great to see the seals and lovely to have a different perspective of St ives. Boat was clean and very well maintained. Absolutely loved it and can’t recommend highly enough.

Wonderful trip out on the Dolly P yesterday. Exciting ride and saw a good group of grey seals, both in and out of the water. Mike the guide was extremely knowledgeable, giving us lots of very interesting information. Thanks also to Mike the skipper.
