Gannet & Puffin Cruises Afternoon
Watching wildlife, East Riding of Yorkshire
Join the RSPB on the 'Yorkshire Belle' for a spectacular cruise this summer! From May onwards, the cliffs of Bempton and Flamborough become a little crowded with over 200,000 seabirds setting up home. Watch gannets flying overhead, coming inshore to feed their young. The gannets are joined by thousands of other seabirds, including kittiwakes, razorbills and the colourful puffin. As well as flying overhead, you will see the birds plunging headfirst into the sea around you, as the boat stirs up some tasty treats.
On the three-hour round trip from Bridlington Harbour, ideal for both beginners and experienced enthusiasts, you'll visit the spectacular chalk cliffs at Flamborough Head. Just be sure you make an early reservation for your ringside seat to our noisy seabird city.
Booking essential
All cruises depart from Bridlington's North Pier
The 'Yorkshire Belle' offers ample covered and outside seating, and there is
a saloon bar serving hot and cold drinks including beer and spirits. There are
toilets on board. Please note that tripods cannot be used during the cruises.
Although we try to ensure that cruises take place in reasonable sea
conditions, occasionally adverse weather or bigger swells can be encountered on
a trip.
The boat owners advise us that access to the boats at Bridlington
harbour by passengers with restricted mobility is difficult. As the safety and
comfort of our passengers is of paramount importance, we ask that any disabled
