    Amazing boat trip. Mike and Mike very knowledgeable. They made it very interesting. Very well worth it! His evolution theory about marine mammals (e.g.seals and bears etc all bullcrap - seals were created as seals!) but all very entertaining! Excellent boat. 350bhp Volvo diesel marine engine, derived from the everyday truck engine. Loads of power. Totally recommended boat ride. Saw the St Ives lifeboat go past at major rate of knots too 👍

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    Had a brilliant trip on Dolly P, so much better than we all expected. Mike and Mike were lovely and so knowledgeable about the surrounding area. Would highly recommend to any age range. Definitely a highlight of our holiday 👍🏻

    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.
