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.

Seven Sisters from Hope Gap.

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.

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.
