Yorkshire Belle
Step aboard the Yorkshire Belle for a 1-hour cruise from Bridlington Harbour to the cliffs and lighthouses of Flamborough Head. Discover dramatic coastline and rich maritime heritage from a sea-level perspective.
The Yorkshire Belle operates passenger cruises from Bridlington, England, offering a mix of wildlife, scenic and family entertainment trips along the East Yorkshire coast.
Departing from Bridlington Harbour, Yorkshire Belle presents four signature experiences: the Family Entertainment & Disco Cruise with Sparky Marky (a lively 1.5-hour summer holiday disco suitable for all ages); the 2hr 30min Bempton Cliffs Cruise (a 2.5-hour voyage to Flamborough Head and Bempton Cliffs for seabird spotting, including Puffins and Gannets, and views of the Scale Nab geological feature); the 1hr Flamborough Head Cruise (a traditional hour-long journey to Flamborough Head showcasing both lighthouses and dramatic chalk cliffs — a route cherished for 77 years); and the 1hr 30min Silex Bay Cruise (a scenic 90-minute trip with lighthouse views and frequent seal sightings).
Yorkshire Belle focuses on coastal scenery and wildlife experiences from the sheltered waters of Bridlington Bay. The program includes family-focused entertainment as well as nature-orientated cruises that highlight seabird colonies, cliff formations, lighthouses and seal habitat. Seasonal scheduling concentrates activity during warmer months and school holidays, when the Family Entertainment & Disco Cruise runs with music, games and dancing for children and adults alike.
Featured on The Adventure Collective, Yorkshire Belle provides a straightforward way for visitors to experience Flamborough Head, Bempton Cliffs, Scale Nab and Silex Bay by boat, combining memorable sea views with opportunities for wildlife observation and coastal photography.
