This trip is a classic winter pelagic visiting both Maryland and Delaware waters searching foralcids like puffin, common murre, dovekie and razorbill to our area as well as winter gulls ,Northern Fulmar, Gannet and Red Phalarope. There is always the outside chance at a mega-rarity, though we dare not speak their names. We will leave time at the end of the trip to visit Delaware’s large seal colony with excellent views of harbor and grey seal expected. Acetaceanor two are likely such as Humpback or Fin whale, or a pod of Common Dolphins.
This 14 hr trip will travel approximately 40 miles offshore in search of these winter specialties. This trip will sail on the Thelmadale V a 110 ft charter-boat with two levels to provide plenty of room to move around and a heated cabin in case you need to warm-up. Several guides will be on hand to help find and identify the pelagic species we encounter.We will make every effort to see as much as we can. The seas offer challenges and rewards, remaining a great frontier still, and one never knows exactly what a day at sea will yield.
