Dozens of Dolphins Jump Alongside Boat Off Ireland’s Southwest Coast

Dozens of dolphins were captured jumping near a boat off the coast of County Kerry, Ireland, on July 20.

Catherine Moran recorded this footage near Derrynane and told Storyful she was out for a trip on her husband’s boat when they spotted the dolphins.

“After about 10 minutes we noticed something moving in the distance, so we went closer and realized about 20 to 30 dolphins were jumping in a line. So we got closer,” she said.

Moran told Storyful they followed the dolphins for about 15 minutes. She explained it was not that unusual to see so many dolphins together, but said it was a “totally amazing experience.”

As the dolphins jump out of the blue waters, passengers on the boat can be heard expressing their excitement, with one passenger saying, “Look at that.” Credit: Catherine Moran via Storyful
