We now operate four modern and well-equipped catamaran vessels, Serenity I, II, III and IV.

Serenity

Serenity is the 2nd vessel to join our fleet. She has just joined us in mid August 2018 and is a pleasure to handle. We sold our last monohulled vessel and with Serenity II being more stable platform we decided to have another purpose built vessel added to the fleet. She is slightly bigger than Serenity II but over all the same lay out and the perfect platform for viewing the Farne Islands and wildlife.

Serenity II

Serenity II was the first purpose built catamaran for trips and tours of the Farne Islands. The design proved very popular with guests, especially bird watchers and photographers who enjoy the 360 degree platform, enhanced double hulled stability and the ability to get close to the cliff faces. The designs of the more modern Serenity, Serenity III and Serenity IV followed the success of Serenity II.

Serenity III

Serenity III joined us just 2 days before the 1st lockdown in March 2020. She was eventually able to take passengers on the 4th July 2020 and we were delighted with her. 2021 will be her 1st full season and hopefully one of many. She will be our 3rd purpose built catamaran based upon the similar design of Serenity and Serenity II.

Serenity IV

After the success of all the other vessels, we have now gone one step further and done something that has never been seen before in Seahouses harbour nevermind the Farne Islands and we have got ourselves a 15meter double-decker, multi-purpose catamaran. This vessel brings the WOW factor to the Farnes and gives you views that have never been seen before. It has two toilets, easy access, a shelter for those cold days, access around the whole boat, and of course the top deck. This area is out of this world with views that are the envy of the other boat companies. It’s amazing for all ages and if we ever get to see dolphins then it’s the perfect platform for viewing them.

Facilities

Toilet facilities are available on both Serenity, Serenity II, Serenity III and Serenity IV. Full commentary is available as we tour the Farne Islands and we also have on board wildlife guides to help with any questions you may have. All our vessels are licensed by the Maritime & Coastguard Agency and are fitted with the latest safety and navigational equipment.

Disabled Access

We are proud that all of our vessels have wheelchair access and when the level of the tide is suitable to allow us to use the harbour slipway. PLEASE NOTE: If your wheelchair is an extra wide one we can’t get it on board, sorry. If it is a motorised or battery operated wheelchair we will try our best to get it on the boat but it depends on how heavy it is as we still have to give it a little lift to get it on. Please contact us in advance so we are able to do our best to help you out.
