Watch: Dolphin playfully splashes family on boat

A dolphin has been spotted playfully splashing a family while they enjoyed a trip out on a boat in the sunshine.

The bottlenose was spotted swimming around the boat at Portland Marina in Dorset on Monday. It had previously been seen splashing dogs out for walks with their owners.

The animal was filmed by the family and originally posted on social media by National Coastwatch Institution (NCI) Portland Bill.

The NCI Portland Bill is a volunteer-based charity that acts as a visual lookout and provides vital safety information for the surrounding waters and coastline.
