About
Our Seven Sisters and Birling Gap cruise... only better... and by far our best seller…!
Similarly, the trip takes us across Seaford Bay, passing Seaford Head before reaching the Coastguard Cottages at Cuckmere Haven. We’ll then continue along the Sussex Heritage Coast towards Birling Gap and the Belle Toute Lighthouse. However, the excitement doesn't end there...!
We'll then venture even further east to the base of the world famous Beachy Head Lighthouse. It lies approximately seven miles to the east of our home in Newhaven Port and stands an impressive 33m tall. The iconic red and white stripes look resplendent when close up.
There'll be plenty of time for photos before heading home a little further out to sea.
In the summer months, we have regular sightings of Harbour Porpoise and occasionally Common Seals close to the Beachy Head Lighthouse itself.
More info
We will provide every passenger with a life jacket. A full safety briefing will be given before we embark so that everyone is comfortable in the knowledge that you'll be well looked after.
