We've returned to Jim Abernethy’s motor yacht Shearwater year after year for the most exciting photo experience on the ocean. From sharks to dolphins, a trip on the Shearwater is unequal in large marine animal photography. Not only does Jim pilot the largest and best skilled floating bait machine on the water, he's also a serious shooter that understands what you need to get the shot. Jim's a brilliant waterman and photographer and he’s about to release the greatest shark and dolphin photo book ever made. For now we get to be a part of his fun by buying passage and sharing in the amazing photo opportunities Jim has created.
Photo Guide: Berkley White
Berkley will give a brief lecture on the best techniques he's learned for shooting sharks and dolphins off the Shearwater. Since the group size is only 8 total, photo critique is usually performed one on one and mostly driven by the guest interest.
Aboard the Shearwater:
The Shearwater is the smallest vessel in our travel offerings, but hands down offers the greatest opportunity of photographic bliss. This is a no frills passage to sharks in your face and the worlds most productive wild dolphin encounters. It's chips and salsa for accommodations, but a trip to mars on the experience.
