A small private boat chartered for photographers, positioned patiently against cliffs and skerries for the shot, not the schedule.
What to expect
You set the brief with the skipper beforehand — puffins in flight, seals underwater from the surface, cliffs of kittiwakes — and the boat idles wherever the picture is best rather than moving on for the next group. Low, level water access lets long lenses get genuinely close without a landing.
Good to know
Arrange this by phone well ahead of your call date; weather cancellations are common enough that a flexible arrival day helps, but a single port call can still work if you book the first slot.
