Lowestoft Coastal Sightseeing

A unique blend of high speed jet boating, working harbour scenery and coastal sightseeing makes this a standout experience along the East Coast. From the bustle of Lowestoft Harbour to the open coastline, the trip offers a completely different perspective of the area’s beaches, landmarks and offshore waters. Since 2023, guests may also see the purpose built kittiwake nesting structures along the route, adding a wildlife focus to the journey alongside the coastal views. Please note that scheduled times are departure times and guests must arrive 30 minutes before departure for check in and boarding.
