Cruise around the islands of Poole Harbour, including famous Brownsea Island or perhaps venture out toward Old Harry Rocks on this delightful cruise of about an hour.

The cruise departs from Poole Quay and sails through Poole Harbour, taking you around the islands past the beautiful beaches and bays of the Harbour. Cruise right in close to Brownsea Island and its castle while the captain provides an informative commentary, highlighting local points of interest.

The cruise takes you to Sandbanks’ “Millionaires Row” and the famous chain-operated ferry, which has been operating in the Harbour since 1926 and we may venture out of the Harbour giving views along the seafront to Bournemouth, the Isle of Wight and Old Harry Rocks. After a 1¼ hour cruise, you will be returned to historic Poole Quay.

The boat has a wonderful upper viewing deck, comfortable lounge, washrooms and a fully licensed bar serving snacks, cream teas, hot and cold beverages, real Purbeck Ales and much more.
