About
Our traditional cruise to see tip of Flamborough Head, which is not visible from Bridlington, has been the mainstay of the Boat’s cruises for all of its 77 years.
On this trip we sail from Bridlington Harbour in a North Easterly direction across Bridlington Bay, famous for its sheltered seas.
As we reach the tip of Flamborough Head you will see both of the Lighthouses (the old and the “new”) and of course being at sea you will gain a perspective of the cliffs and these features, that cannot be seen from Bridlington.
What to bring
The weather can be vastly different at sea to that on land, therefore please bring waterproof, warm clothing as the sea breeze can make it chillier at sea and rain or sea spray can appear without warning.
Adventure Tips
Dress for changing sea weather
Bring waterproof and warm layers; conditions on the water can be chillier and wetter than on land.
Arrive early for boarding
Plan to arrive at Bridlington Harbour at least 15 minutes before departure to ensure a smooth boarding process.
Camera ready for unique coastal views
Have your camera or smartphone handy—the cliffs and twin lighthouses provide striking photographic opportunities from sea level.
Mind the sea spray
Expect occasional sea spray near the cliffs; eye protection or waterproof gear helps keep you comfortable throughout the cruise.
