The harbour has many interesting vessels with organisations such as CEFAS and Border Force using it alongside many wind farm support vessels and fishing boats etc. In addition there are a number of wrecks that we stop to look at.
Please note this isn’t a fast boat trip, if that’s what you’d like please see our other trips. We can however run this one in pretty much all weathers.

We depart from the Heritage Quay on South Pier and take a leisurely cruise (limited to 4 knots in the harbour) along Lake Lothing to the MTB 102 Trust and then return to South Pier. On this cruise you will see historic and working vessels (some are both!)

We really enjoyed the harbour tour this morning. The crew were amazing - friendly and knowledgeable. Learnt so much about the area and the sun was shining. Highly recommend. We will definitely be booking with them again when we return to Lowestoft.

The trip provides a fascinating glimpse into the maritime history of Lowestoft. Mark and the team were fun, safety conscious and very knowledgable.

Stunning, and time & money well spent. You see views of the harbour, including old wrecks, structures and semi-derelict shipyards that have lain there for aeons and are impossible to get close to by any other means. At all times you remain in calm harbour waters so no threat to those of delicate disposition. The running commentary is very informative and second to none. Getting on and off the inflatable is quite easy so 100% mobility is not a problem - but if unsure of your ability then please check with the company. Seriously, it's not to be missed.

What an insight to see the harbour from the water! Very helpful and informative team. Quite a laugh too. Gave us quirky facts and explained what we were seeing. The railway bridge from below and some of the old boats and wrecks were intriguing. It will be great to go back when the Gullwing bridge is completed. Good waterproofs provided if needed. All good!

What an amazing tour of Lake Lothing with an interesting commentary on all the boats we were seeing. The wet gear was a must today and, despite being concerned if I would manage to get on board,it was easy with help from the crew.
