About this tour

Choose a daytime voyage around Scolt Head Island, a nature reserve ringed by sand banks and shallow waters teeming with birdlife, or opt for an evening departure timed to catch the sun descending over open water—complete with chilled champagne served on deck. Fuel and safety equipment are provided.

What to expect
You'll board a private boat suited to small groups and head out into open water. The crew knows the local geography—sandbars, creeks, sheltered anchorages—and will navigate according to conditions and your interests. If you've chosen a sunset trip, expect to drift offshore as light fades, with champagne offered as the sky turns gold and pink. Daytime runs focus on exploring Scolt Head Island's shoreline and the birdwatchers' vantage points along the reserve. The boat moves at a leisurely pace; this is observation time, not speed. Water can be choppy; the motion is gentle but constant.
Good to know
Bring layers and weatherproof clothing—sea breezes are cool even in summer. The charter is not suitable for pregnant travellers, those with spinal injuries, or anyone with heart conditions. Moderate fitness is needed to board and move about the vessel. Public transport reaches the departure point; check operator for exact location and parking options.
