Dolphin Harassment

03 September 2010

Whilst most boat owners are responsible when out on the water unfortunatley some are not. This week a boat was observed by quite a few people harassing the dolphins.

This is totally against the Dolphin Space Programme Code of Conduct whose aim is to ensure that the dolphins are the ones in control of their interaction with boats.

At Inverness Marina we fully support the Dolphin Space Programme which all of our customers must comply with.

Busy Summer with Yachts & Wildlife

31 August 2010

After a busy season with many visitors from all four corners of the globe, things are starting to wind down. The weather this summer could have been better, but as the next paragraph shows, we have other attractions if you are planning a holiday in your boat to this part of Scotland.

Our local wildlife is still as busy as ever! During the summer some of our resident dolphins had a habit of coming into the marina to play with the fish they had caught by tossing it into the air, much to the delight of those sitting on their boats. They are still here most days in the river. In addition whilst lifting a boat with the travelhoist today, we stopped and watched an otter catching and eating his(or her) breakfast as a heron looked on enviously from the river bank. Add the colony of appx 25 swans and the odd seal, there is always something to watch at Inverness Marina.
