Hebridean
Explorer is a 50ft fibre glass ex-survey vessel built in 1988 in the UK
and fitted out in Italy. She has been delivered from the Mediterranean
to Tobermory. She has undergone a full survey and refit and is a British
registered commercial vessel. Hebridean Explorer has the benefit of twin
Mercedes engines and all the latest technology navigation and safety
equipment.
Considering her size and deck area, she could accommodate twice as many
passengers, but our aim is to provide a comfortable and enjoyable
experience for each passenger so there is plenty of space to walk around
and enjoy the cruise.
Hebridean Explorer is skippered by Grant Carmichael, who holds a British
professional Boat Masters Licence. He is Tobermory born and bred and has
an intimate knowledge of the local area, having worked previously for
many years operating vessels in the Sound of Mull on aquaculture work.
Grant is assisted by our dedicated Wildlife guide
Roddy Wyness.He was brought up on the Isle of Skye and moved to Mull as
a teenager. He trained as a jeweller and can be found in his workshop
making bespoke pieces when not following his studies of the local
wildlife. He worked last year on the Hebridean Whale and Dolphin Trust
research ship Silurian as a guide and we are very pleased our passengers
are able to share his knowledge.
Both Grant
and Roddy are members of the local lifeboat crew.
