Overview

Join us on an award winning, action-packed RIB ride along the stunning East Sussex coastline. Treat yourselves to a magical day out and experience our view of this fantastic part of the World!

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.

    Seven Sisters Country Park

    The Seven Sisters are the famous chalk cliffs that form part of the Sussex Heritage Coast.It is an incredibly popular location for locals and international visitors who come to experience this magnificent stretch of coastline between Seaford and Eastbourne.Regrettably, it is slowly being eroded by the elements. It’s estimated that 30-40cm of the coastal edge is lost to the sea each year and we'll spend time on the trip to discuss this in more detail.It is a haven for wildlife, especially migratory birds who enjoy the temperate British summers.

    Cuckmere Haven

    The beach was commonly used by smugglers in the 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries. It wasn't uncommon for there to be upwards of 200 of them on the beach at that time.The coastguard cottages at Cuckmere Haven were built shortly after the National Coastguard Service was founded in 1822 in order to stop the smuggling. They are easily one of the most photographed dwellings in the UK today.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    (8)

    Q: Will I get seasick on The Seven Sisters & Beachy Head Lighthouse Boat Trip Adventure?

    A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023
