Lowestoft Coastal Sightseeing

A unique blend of high speed jet boating, working harbour scenery and coastal sightseeing makes this a standout experience along the East Coast. From the bustle of Lowestoft Harbour to the open coastline, the trip offers a completely different perspective of the area’s beaches, landmarks and offshore waters. Since 2023, guests may also see the purpose built kittiwake nesting structures along the route, adding a wildlife focus to the journey alongside the coastal views. Please note that scheduled times are departure times and guests must arrive 30 minutes before departure for check in and boarding.

Lowestoft Harbour Tour

This trip offers a rare opportunity to explore the working waterways of Lake Lothing and Oulton Broad from the water, combining maritime history, industry and hidden local sights. Depending on harbour activity, travellers may see vessels operated by organisations such as CEFAS and Border Force alongside offshore wind support vessels, fishing boats and other commercial craft. The journey also visits several historic wreck sites and passes important maritime landmarks that are rarely viewed from this perspective. Unlike our high speed coastal experiences, this is a slower paced sightseeing trip focused on exploration and local history, and can usually operate in a wide range of weather conditions. Please note that scheduled times are departure times and guests must arrive 30 minutes before departure for check in and boarding.

Scroby Sands Seal Watching

Departing from South Pier, this fast-paced coastal experience heads north along the shoreline towards Scroby Sands, offering sweeping views of Lowestoft, Gorleston-on-Sea, and Great Yarmouth from the water. As we approach the seal colony, speed is reduced significantly to minimise disturbance, and the engine is typically switched off so the vessel can drift or anchor, allowing time to observe and photograph the wildlife at close range. The sands are home to both grey and common seals, often seen hauled out on the bank or swimming curiously around the boat, alongside a range of seabirds. Please note scheduled times are departure times and guests must arrive 30 minutes prior to departure for check in and boarding.

Norfolk Road Trip Guidebook-Norwich, Broads, Sandringham & Cromer

This self-guided Norfolk road trip is designed to show how the region’s waterways, coast and historic towns connect into one coherent journey rather than a series of separate day trips. Instead of piecing routes together yourself, the guide links Norwich, the Norfolk Broads and the North Norfolk Coast into a clear touring structure that flows naturally from city streets to river landscapes and wide coastal horizons. You can follow the full route from Norwich to the coast or explore individual sections depending on your timeframe. Along the way the guide highlights historic towns, harbour villages, nature-rich marshes and some of England’s most distinctive coastal scenery. Rather than a rigid itinerary, the guide provides narrative context, route progression and flexible time-based planning so you can adapt around wildlife watching, coastal walks and slower travel. With 12 months access included, you can start planning well before your trip and return to the guide whenever you need.
