Fabulous last Sunset Cruise of 2026
Had a fantastic cruise, the catamaran was very comfortable, very nice skipper and knowledgeable crewman.There were only 6 passengers onboard so it felt like our own private cruiseThe weather was kind to us and the sunset didn’t disappoint! Was desperate to see some dolphins but not to be on this trip. Doubtless we’ll do another cruise next year they’re excellent value for money and 2 hours at sea was just right as it was starting to get chilly. Highly recommend this cruise.

An informative and interesting trip.
What a great trip. The staff were friendly and helpful when we arrived at the harbour, the boat was clean and comfortable. The crew on the boat were knowledgeable and were able to answer any questions we had about the Farne Islands. They told us the story of Grace Darling and about St Cuthbert which was interesting. We did not see as many birds as we would have liked as the trip was out of season but we did see the seals which was great. Will definitely do the trip again in breeding season next year. Would highly recommend.

​Great day out, though the seals clearly didn't get the memo about being dynamic
​Overall, highly recommended. It pairs brilliantly with nearby Bamburgh Castle and local beaches. Very dog-friendly, though pets cannot join island landings. ​👉Top tip: Come before July for puffins. By late September, you will mostly just see seals. ​👉Experience Weather turned from sunny to overcast with serious coastal winds, so wear a heavy windbreaker. Our 12:45 return voyage felt like a theme park pirate ship on the rough waves. Seabirds were scarce, but we spotted lazy clusters of seals on the rocks and sleek heads diving in the water. ​👉Costs Parking is £4.50 for 2 hours or £9 for the day. Since you need 30 minutes to park plus the 1.5-hour tour, you are forced to pay £9, which feels a bit unfair. The Seabird and Grey Seal tour was £22 per person. Avoid online booking fees off-season and buy on arrival instead. Our boat only had 10 people, and 4 bought tickets on the spot.

Farne Islands Trip
This was a far more extensive boat trip than I thought it would be. It covered the whole of The Farne Islands. The commentary by the crew member was very informative. I would certainly recommend.

Great trip
This was a really good trip around the Farne Islands to Holy Island. We enjoyed it. My only other comment would be to change the narrator!

Excellent. Highly Recommend
Booked online very easily. Excellent day out! We did the Holy Island trip that includes the Farnes, Langstone Lighthouse and a 2 hour stop off at Holy Island. The boat was immaculate, staff were professional and attentive. Great commentary, just enough to inform, not a constant monologue. A couple of the guys walked about the boat chatting to people, giving info about the wildlife and the island. Great characters. It was a bit choppy the day we went out and a couple of people were sea sick but the staff dealt with helping them, and the clean up, quietly and professionally. We saw plenty seals and birdlife and they took the boat up as close as possible to the rocks so we had a good view. Holy Island was quiet, the 2 hour stop gave us just enough time for a bit of lunch and a wander. All in all a great day trip out, we felt safe and well looked after all day. Thank you guys, we will be back.
