Along the Coast, south of Scarborough, and towards, Filey, Bempton and Flamborough Head there can be found several large Puffin Colonies. These unique, facinating and beautifully coloured little birds are a delight to see and enthusiasts go to great lengths to access them from the Cliff Tops.
The ideal and perfect way to view them, their young and their nesting sites, is from the sea.
The Ex-RNLI Lifeboat,the William Cantrell Ashley, sails daily, during the Summer, weather permitting, out of Scarborough Harbour and not only visits these colonies but passes along a stretch of coast line that provides an ideal habbitat for Seals and a wide variety of other wild life.
WHY NOT JOIN THEM?

IMPORTANT NOTE.
The Lifeboat William Cantrell Ashley is currently (2003) the ONLY boat licensed and insured to operate out of Scarborough and go the distances required to see ALL the Sea Bird and Seal Colonies, down as far as Filey Brigg, where the majority are to be found.
