We take up to 12 passengers per trip (though this is currently reduced with covid restrictions) & are the perfect choice for tour groups visiting Shetland.

Our tours have not changed price since we started our business, we feel the price is right at £45 for adults & £25 for under 16’s. We are without doubt the best boat, offer the best wildlife experience & the best value for money. Come & join us to see why!

Phil Harris is your highly experienced  skipper, birder, naturalist & guide on all tours. Rebecca is a professional wildlife photographer, global wildlife photo judge & wildlife author who joins some of our more bespoke photo tours.

They have worked "out in the field" for many years, honing their field skills, ready to deliver fun, personal, informative & interesting tours to suit all interests & ages. SST has a responsible, sensitive approach to Shetland's rich marine natural environment & tourism.

Phil was formally a fire fighter & worked on rescue boats at sea, so safety out on the water is paramount to all our tours. All our passengers wear our slimline lifejackets upon embarkation & for the duration of our tours.

Conservation & environmental education is fundamental to SST companies ethos. We literally live for birds & wildlife & have been on Shetland ‘living the dream’ for nearly 20 years. We were delighted to gain Carbon Neutral status in 2021, another step in the right direction.
