Mobile ticket
Join us on an award winning, action-packed RIB ride along the stunning East Sussex coastline. Treat yourselves to a magical day out and experience our view of this fantastic part of the World!
The trip takes us across Seaford Bay, passing Seaford Head before reaching the Coastguard Cottages at Cuckmere Haven. We’ll then continue along the Sussex Heritage Coast towards Birling Gap and the Belle Toute Lighthouse. However, the excitement doesn’t end there…!
We’ll then venture even further east to the base of the world famous Beachy Head Lighthouse. It lies approximately seven miles to the east of our home in Newhaven Port and stands an impressive 33m tall. The iconic red and white stripes look resplendent when close up.
There’ll be plenty of time for photos before heading home a little further out to sea. In the summer months, we have regular sightings of Harbour Porpoise and occasionally Common Seals close to the Beachy Head Lighthouse itself.

5.00It was fun enjoyable experience with great tour leader , the views were amazing , the speed of the boat was not for the weak people but gave thrilling chilling vibes 😀 really amazing just sadly too short I think, the time flew too fast. The price is high but worth of the Experience 🤩

5.00A fabulous 90 minute trip on a 12 seater rib starting in Newhaven and ending at Beachy Head Lighthouse, Eastbourne. Fronted by the hugely professional team of John (the main man) and Dom (the driver) with great emphasis on safety…without at any time making it boring! John is highly charismatic and made it fun and memorable for all on board. Highly recommended!

5.00A really excellent experience and I live locally and had never seen the coast from the sea so learnt a lot and enjoyed a thrilling ride to see the Seven (8) sisters and the lighthouse. Excellent guide who made us all feel very welcome and was very personable and really made the trip extra special. Would definitely do another tour.

Great Family Birthday Memories

5.00I booked this trip as a birthday treat for family. What a fabulous time we had with the youngest ones not being on a fast boat before. John was brilliant from the start making sure we all had our life jackets on and explained all the safety bits clearly. John spent time getting to know who was on his boat asking us all our names. Throughout the trip John spent time informing us of our beautiful coastline really getting us all involved and making the trip fun. He was particularly fab with my youngest grandchild who was only 5 he got him involved which he loved, answering with some very funny replies. John also amazingly remembered all our names throughout the trip. There was lots of laughter and smiles and we all loved the exhilaration of the boat. All In all we had a fabulous time and we didn't want it to end. A great trip for young and old. Great birthday memories made. Thank you John we will be back.
