Dolphins

ABOUT

Common dolphin

• Our most commonly sighted dolphin
• Common dolphins are a pelagic species (not resident in our waters year round), but are often seen during the summer months.
• They are an extremely agile and playful creature and seem to take great delight in riding the bow wave and generally playing around the boat.

Rissos Dolphin

• Rissos dolphin are considerably larger than the common dolphin growing to a maximum 3.8m in length
• Relatively little is known about the somewhat elusive Rissos dolphin e.g. how long they live.
• Adults often appear white in colour due to scaring on their bodies.
