Seals & Lighthouse Cruise

Heading West out of the harbour we pass the famous Tunnels Beaches, Lee Village and on to Bull Point Lighthouse originally constructed in 1879. There is an increasing number of Atlantic Grey Seals just past Rockham Beach – this is where we regularly have sightings. Our vessel has a fantastic viewing deck for these occasions. Once we pass the seals, we move on to Morte Point which has many tales to be told of smugglers and shipwrecks. We then journey onto Woolacombe Bay – here we have fantastic views of Baggy Point, Hartland point and Lundy Island before returning to Ilfracombe.

What people say about us

  • DMW
    The Princess is tidy, safe and comfortable. The crew are very informative, funny and sensitive to folk not used to boats. This was our second trip and Capn Paul was just as entertaining and ironic as Capn Jack was last year. This was the last trip of the year and she is due to be lifted out for the winter tomorrow, so we were very lucky. No trip to Ilfracombe can be complete without including a trip in the Yellow Cat.
