Whale season in the Tropical North is in full swing with daily humpback sightings. This mother and calf put on a show for passengers and crew aboard dive and snorkel vessel Silverswift as they playfully breached repeatedly out of the water. Watch to see mamma show how it's done! The encounter occurred near Green Island as the vessel was returning from a day at the Outer Reefs. Quicksilver Group Environment and Compliance Manager, and cetacean expert, Phil Coulthard said “Whale season is in full swing and it’s always very exciting to see the humpbacks in our tropical waters. This mother and calf duo have been seen around the same location for several days. We’re seeing the humpbacks almost daily at this time of year. It’s part of their winter migration to our region from the southern oceans of Australia to the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park.” The sightings are recorded for the GBRMPA’s Eye on the Reef monitoring program. Humpbacks are generally seen at the Great Barrier Reef between the months of June to September with regular sightings near Green Island and at the Outer Reefs, bringing an added bonus for passengers at this time. Thanks to Silverswift marine biologist Teresa Souyet for the great footage.

Open For Business during the Coronavirus, COVID - 19 Pandemic I am here for your yachting needs. Per the government mandate I moved my office from Harbor Island to my master bedroom making sure i'm here for you and my clients during these unsettling times. Hearing and seeing many of the people that we have helped buy a boat over the years now being so grateful that they have this venue available during this CoronaVirus situation, that they suddenly realize many others do not have, has made us so thankful that we were able to be a part of providing that for them. That being said, we want you to know that even though our locations are not open due to the current statewide restrictions, that does not mean we are not open. In fact quite the opposite. All our staff are still working their regular hours and available via phone, email or through our website to carry on the majority of our business that we do every day. We are all eager and want to continue to help you realize whatever your boating dreams are and I hope you will allow me to continue to do that. On a positive note I have secured a production spot for a new client on a Bali 4.8 this last week and just delivered a New Jeanneau 410 Sun Odyssey along with the first time ever a virtual delivery showing my client the yacht and exchanging the final payment and paperwork via a wire transfer and email's. I wish you and your family health and happiness during these times and know there is no better isolation then being out on the water enjoying this precious life we where given. Best, Ian Van Tuyl 1-619-507-4416 ianvt@cruisingyachts.net or ivtyachtsales@gmail.com
