Consultancy and Charter

Sea Life Surveys has successfully acted as consultants and as a platform for charter to a number of professions such as:

• Film production
• Journalism
• Survey work and photography

We are able to offer specialist knowledge of minke whales and other cetaceans combining excellent practical skills and scientific information. Chartering our vessel for your work we will take you to the heart of the action to optimise your objectives. Understanding the animals' behaviour from years of study means that we can stay with the action and predict the animals' movements. As consultants we can also provide the necessary scientific input for your project.
