The Experience
Enjoy the unique beauty of the Sussex coastline – from Eastbourne Pier and the Wishing Tower to Beachy Head and beyond. Your skipper, Mike Keane, is an expert on the history of the Eastbourne coastline and is delighted to share his knowledge, adding fascinating stories to your journey.
With gunnels more than 1m above the waterline, you can relax and enjoy the view without the need for cumbersome wet-weather gear or life jackets, and without fear of getting wet.
The Air Show
Once a year in August we have the Eastbourne Air Show , which displays a fabulous fleet of different aircrafts e.g. Chinook, Spitfire, Typhoon, just to name but a few followed by the spectacular Red Arrows so this in itself is a fabulous day out at sea to see all these old aircrafts reunite together for a memorable day. For booking, site-seeing tours please feel free to email us your requests.
