Another beautiful day and another boat ride for us, but this time from Beaumaris to Puffin Island in a boat aptly called The Beast.
The Beast (a Ribcraft 9.0) is possibly the biggest fastest Rib on the Menai Strait. She is a 9m Ribcraft powered by twin Evinrude G2 outboards which produce 500hp!
Jason, the skipper was very safety conscious and throughout the duration of the ride gave us a very informative running commentary of the area and the wildlife. He started off giving us a very exhilarating ride in the middle of the straits so you'll have to excuse the photos as I was holding on tightly as he did some very sharp turns in the water reaching speeds of 50mph at times
We then went along the straits and as we approached Puffin Island we went in quite close and were able to see the many Seals and thousands of different types of seabirds.
We spent some time looking at the wildlife but sadly it was time to head back to Beaumaris. A nice latte in a promenade cafe finished off what was an excellent day for us and I would have no hesitation recommending this trip to anyone who was so interested.
