Seaford Bay to Eastbourne Pier

We’ve exciting  one hour excursions,  two hour boat trips for those wanting to go a little further afield and unique  private skippered charters  if looking to rent the boat privately for your family and friends.

Why not take a quick look at the video below for a taste of what to expect on a trip along to the Seven Sisters, admittedly with a beautiful sunset cruise thrown in for good measure?

From our base in the busy Port of Newhaven nestled between Brighton and Eastbourne on the South Coast, we’ll show you the famous white cliffs of the Seven Sisters from a totally different perspective. The picturesque Coastguard Cottages at Cuckmere. Birling Gap managed by the National Trust. The distinctive red and white stripes of the Beachy Head Lighthouse and so much more.

If you’ve a little more time to spend with us, come and see the Rampion Offshore Wind Farm and keep an eye open for its pod of dolphins often spotted there throughout the summer months. Witness the turbines close-up and learn about the sustainable energy generated by the only wind farm along the South Coast.

Alternatively, why not explore the sights and sounds of Brighton ’s Palace and West Piers? The bustling beaches. Roedean. Saltdean. The Blind Veterans at Ovingdean.

For the ultimate experience, end the day with a magical sunset cruise as we watch the setting sun sink effortlessly beneath the sea.

The Seven Sisters rival even the White Cliffs of Dover for ivory clarity. The constant crashing of the ocean waves at their base is causing them to fall piece-by-piece back into the ocean.

The cliffs are known as the Seven Sisters due to the seven distinct hilltops that comprise their silhouette. The bright white colour of the stone is thanks to the abundance of chalk that makes up the majority of the cliff face.

Experience our view along the Sussex Heritage Coast from Seaford Bay to Beachy Head. This is by far our most popular boat trip and lasts approximately one hour .

FIND OUT MORE

The Rampion Offshore Wind Farm is currently the only offshore wind farm along the South Coast of England. It produces the equivalent amount of electricity to power half of the homes in Sussex each year.

The wind farm is located southwest of our home here in Newhaven and stretches from Brighton in the east to Worthing in the west. We’ll head out to the turbines to get up close and personal before returning via Brighton and back along the cliffs of Telescombe and Peacehaven.

It isn’t out of the question that we’ll spot dolphins en route. Their sightings are well documented locally. It’s extremely rare but if we’re going to see them anywhere then it’s likely to be on this boat trip lasting approximately two hours.

Being less than 90 minute’s train ride away from London, Newhaven a wonderful location from which to explore the South Coast and have a fantastic experience out on the water.

Why not spend a few hours on the nearby beach in Seaford Bay before joining us on what will surely be a trip of a lifetime to round off a beautiful day? Our sunset cruise leaves each evening (weather permitting) so as to witness the setting of the sun into the calming seas. Unbroken vistas to the west provide a truly magical evening for all of the family and couples alike.

For those of you looking for the ultimate gift for a loved one, the boat can be chartered privately and chilled champagne served onboard. Simply book an hour’s long Private Skippered Charter in the evening and we’ll organise the rest.

The ultimate experience each August.  Witness the Eastbourne Airshow from out at sea.  The best possible location for the show.  An uninterrupted, 360 degree panorama from as close to the flight path as is physically possible.

We run one trip each day throughout the show.  Each will be three hours in duration with the aim of seeing the Red Arrows on every trip . Not only will you get the best seat in the house but you’ll also witness the wonders of the Seven Sisters and Beachy Head whilst en route. An amazing spectacle from start to finish. We can’t wait to share the experience with you…!

Looking for something a little different? Why not organise a Private Skippered Charter with us?

Skippered charters allow us to offer a bespoke adventure for you. If you’ve a birthday surprise to organise, a special family occasion or simply want to treat yourself to something extraordinary then look no further.

Skippered charters are available by the hour, half day or even whole days if there’s somewhere in particular you’d like to visit. Maybe you’d simply like the freedom to go wherever you like, anchoring off Seaford Beach or Cuckmere Haven for a swim. Visiting Brighton Marina for lunch. The possibilities are endless.

ICC (The International Certificate of Competence)

The International Certificate of Competence is issued in conformity with Resolution No. 40 of the Working Party on Inland Water Transport. The ICC is required by many European countries for the use of certain categories of pleasure boat. It is also useful in countries where compulsory certificates are required of nationals simply because officials expect to see such a certificate. You automatically qualify for your ICC on completion of the RYA powerboat level 1 and 2 course. To apply you will need a copy of the application form available from the RYA website at www.rya.org.uk . You will need a passport photo along with either your RYA membership number or your ICC fee and your Powerboat Level 1&2 Certificate.

What to bring

• Be prepared for changeable weather, bring plenty of layers
• Quick drying clothes can be very practical, please avoid jeans
• Sunglasses, sunhat and suncream for summer months and woolly hats, thermals and layers for winter months
• Deck boots and non-slip deck shoes or trainers that don’t mark
• If you have your own waterproofs, please bring them, or you can borrow ours
• If you are worried or unsure whether you suffer from seasickness then pills and wrist-bands work well. Don’t arrive on an empty stomach and take tablets with breakfast if you have never been sailing on the sea before, sometimes the motion takes a while to get used to
• Money for lunch or a packed lunch
