Our onboard Wildlife Guides are the best there are. Expert in their fields and passionate about wildlife, we feel very privileged to have them as Crew members, providing our guests with an exceptional insight into the wildlife we encounter.
Georgina Kelly is a field ecologist with years of experience within research and consultancy and a wildlife expert in seabirds and cetaceans amongst other species. She currently works as a Warden on the RSPB Skerries Reserve, a small group of islands around 5km off the north coast of Anglesey. We are very fortunate that Georgina comes onboard Proud Seahorse as our Wildlife Guide when her RSPB duties allow her the time.
Read an indepth account of Georgina and her work in Inside Ecology Magazine, January 2018. As you can see from the article, she is also a very talented wildlife photographer.

Tell you something you may not know. The rise through upsy locks is extraordinary, a body of water controlled. Then the down-the-stairs feel as you descend to the wide mouth of Loch Ness. Ok, that's one thing, two actually, but how you traverse this is not the whole picture. The thought and the planning that goes into every minute detail is diverse, dynamic and delicious. From Emma and back (for she is the pilot) we have Captain 'Calm' who deals with everything on board, Ash who makes light of all her work as steward, Will, guide, who knows the over and under story and Jordan who should cook for heaven, all of them showing such grace. I loved watching each member of this team step out of their roles when required. For any unsure of bumpy seas, this one is for you. Ps, bring swimwear. The hot tub affords the best of sunset views.
