Our Trips

The vessel "Coastal Explorer" will offer unique trips between the ports of Whitby and Scarborough. Weather permitting there will be four trips per day, reducing to two in low season. Followed by a longer "special" trip later in the day.

Customers are welcome to travel one-way (or return from the first trip of the day) between Whitby and Scarborough. The trips will display the beautiful scenery, rugged cliffs and wildlife in its natural habitat. Whales, dolphins, seals and seabirds are hoped to be seen from these trips.

We welcome cyclists aboard! The bikes can be secured aboard the boat for your trip to the neighbouring town. After experiencing the coast from the sea, take advantage of the amazing dis-used railway track between Scarborough and Whitby. This 21 miles route is ideal for walking or biking.
