Raptor is an 11 metre cabin RIB, licensed for 12 passengers, all of whom can fit outside on the deck – the perfect platform for enjoying the islands on the ocean! The boat, skippered by resident Dan May, is available for private charters, water taxis and their new popular Wildlife and Scenic Tours.

Wildlife sightings can also include dolphins, porpoise and a variety of birdlife such as puffins (from April – July), gannets, guillemots, fulmars, cormorants and razorbills. Raptor’s speed enables the tour to cover many miles and different islands, greatly increasing the chances of wildlife encounters. Private charters are bespoke and tailored to the perfect Scilly itinerary, the convenience of having your own speedboat with expert skipper and island-guide is a ‘must-do’ box to be ticked. Should you wish to dine on an island different to your accommodation, Raptor can pick you up at any time, meaning an aperitif, suppers and evening plans needn’t be confined to one island. More here.
