Operating daily from mid-April to September (9am–9pm booking office open), this hour-long tour is a perfect family-friendly adventure.

The boat is suitable for all ages, pensioner and child-friendly, and welcomes well-behaved dogs on a lead. Whether you're a nature enthusiast or just looking for a memorable day out, this wildlife-focused trip offers something for everyone.

Reviews

An absolutely brilliant boat trip and the highlight of the children's stay in Amble. Whereas other cruise lines crammed on as many customers as they could, Amble Boat Trips seemed far more customers focussed, ensuring everyone (especially the kids) had an amazing time. We saw puffins, the most seals you are ever likely to see and were able to handle crabs and lobsters as we pleased. A delightful, personable and friendly experience, which we would whole-heartedly recommend.

Been on lots of boat trips but this was our favourite. We followed a pod of dolphins, the kids got to hold lobsters and we saw hundreds of seals. The guys running the tour were really friendly and knowledgeable. A much nicer trip than the more touristy boat trips where you're packed in like sardines!

Mr. P.

An amazing experience, crew were very good and friendly, letting the kids hold lobsters and explaining which they could keep and ones they had to throw back, the kids were given that job, watched seals and then they spent some extra time as there were dolphins reported near the harbour taking us to see them, would highly recommend, go now while the dolphins are there!
