About
Our ‘West Bay Blast’ is one of the fastest rides on the water! Experience for yourself the truly AWESOME speed and handling of a RIB, nothing comes close to the feeling you’ll get as we head along the coast at speed. This trip gives 1/4hr at sea and covers up to 6 miles depending on the sea conditions. Booking is advised for this trip although not always necessary during the peak season. Certain restrictions may apply.
PLEASE PROVIDE A MOBILE NUMBER WHEN BOOKING We may need to get hold of you last minute with updates or changes in weather and sea conditions which may affect your trip.
NOTE: All of our quayside trips require a minimum of 6 seats sold (or the cost cover of 6) to run.
Please try to add to 'part filled' trips first to help ensure you get to sea.
If we do not reach this minimum we will try to move your trip into the next trip leaving the harbour, if we do have have 6 or more booked on, we will be in contact with you to reschedule or refund you.
Note
LBRC have a minimum age policy of 5 years, with an adult, if the sea state is flat calm.
- This age is then raised, at the Skippers discretion, as the wind speed/wave size increases.
- Passengers are made aware of this rule from the outset.
- This age may increase or decrease throughout the day without notice depending on the sea state and wind.
- The Skippers word is final.
