The tour

See the coast from the water

Kestrel Warrior is a purpose-built charter boat with a big open deck, based at Brighton Marina. On a sightseeing tour you leave the marina, head out onto the water and look back at the Sussex coast, with the skipper at the helm.

The route on the day depends on the weather and the sea state, and the skipper decides. Book for yourselves, for visitors or for a family outing: the whole boat is yours, so the price is the same for 2 people or 11.

You meet the skipper at the waterfront at Brighton Marina and walk down the pontoon to board. See the charter boat page for the deck, engine and electronics, or how to get to the marina by car, train or bus.

Children under 16 must be with an adult. Fancy a fishing trip instead? Our 90-minute mackerel trip is the classic first boat fishing trip for families.
