The largest basking shark recorded was around 12m in length, although this individual was nowhere near that it was pretty sizeable. The boat in the background is 9.5m and not too far back. Sometimes we see individuals like this but we can also see sharks in large aggregations of 20 . As always with wildlife, the longer you can come for the better chances you have of having the best encounters, so why not check out our week trips: https://baskingsharkscotland.co.uk/our-tours/multi-day-trips/baski

Take a moment to admire the awesome basking shark! The basking shark is the second largest fish in our oceans and despite its size feeds on plankton. We're so lucky that they can be regularly spotted around the west coast of Scotland. 🦈 | WWF Scotland

Here's a really nice example demonstrating the swallowing phase of a basking shark feeding. At the start you can see what looks like chewing but this is the shark gulping back the plankton that had collected on its gill rakers. We're still taking bookings for our summer season and we do have a few day trips planned for those that don't have as much time - although the longer you come for the more chances of great encounters like this! https://baskingsharkscotland.co.uk/our-tours/one-day-tours/ba

The second largest living shark species, the basking shark, feeding in the Santa Barbara Channel. 🎥: Adam Ernster Photography They are one of three filter-feeding sharks, along with the whale shark and megamouth shark, meaning they sift out small plankton (such as krill) from the water instead of relying on teeth! | Ocean Conservation Research - OCR
