Hello, I am Jamie, the Skipper of "Striker" with over 30 years of Scallop diving experience all over the West Coast of Scotland. West Highland Marine is an established company, my father and I have a combined experience of 50 years in these waters, recreationally and working commercially.
​
I enjoy passing on my experience and enthusiasm with my Boat Trip Visitors. During the boat trips I can share my underwater knowledge by lifting fishing creels to look at creatures from below the waves - velvet, green, edible brown crabs, lobsters, octopus, sea stars and a variety of fish as well. But don't forget to look around on the land and sky as we will also be viewing the Birds and Animals in their natural habitats. We also regularly see around Inverewe; Northern European Otters, Seals, Golden Eagles, White Tailed Sea Eagles and many sea birds.
​
Tours are weather dependant. For bookings and further information visit the Inverewe Garden Visitor Centre or call the numbers below.
