Skippered charters allow us to offer a bespoke adventure for you. If you’ve a birthday surprise to organise, a special family occasion or simply want to treat yourself to something extraordinary then look no further.
Skippered charters are available by the hour, 90 minutes, half day or even whole days if there’s somewhere in particular you’d like to visit. They're also a great way of saving money if you're in a larger group as you can get 10 passengers for the price of 12 on any of our advertised excursions.
Alternatively, simply enjoy the freedom to go wherever you like, anchoring off Seaford Beach or Cuckmere Haven for a swim. Visiting Brighton Marina for lunch. The possibilities are endless.
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.
Warm clothes as it can get chilly out at sea, especially if you book the boat for several hours. Something to eat and drink is always a good idea too. Cameras and binoculars are also recommended but please remember that these are carried onboard at your own risk.
Arriving 15 minutes early helps ensure a smooth departure and briefing.
Bring layers and waterproof gear depending on the forecast for comfort at sea.
Don’t forget hats, sunglasses, and sunscreen for sunny days on the water.
