Description

Bishops Boats offers unforgettable seal-watching boat trips along the beautiful North Norfolk coast, departing from Morston Quay. It gives visitors the chance to see seals up close in their natural habitat, without heading into rough open sea. The trips are suitable for all ages and are especially popular with families, wildlife lovers, and photographers.

The main attraction is the one-hour Blakeney Point Seal Trip, which takes passengers through scenic salt marsh creeks and sheltered coastal waters. Visitors can see Grey seals and Common seals either basking on the sandbanks of Blakeney Point or swimming playfully around the boat. Friendly and knowledgeable skippers provide live commentary about the seals, local wildlife, birdlife, and landmarks such as the historic Blakeney Lifeboat Station, making the trip both educational and enjoyable.

Ticket prices are £20.00 for adults, £10.00 for children, and free for children under 2 years old. Trips last around one hour and run daily, with departure times varying by tide and season.

Bishops Boats offers one of the best wildlife experiences in Norfolk, combining stunning scenery with close-up seal encounters. The calm waters, expert crews, and welcoming atmosphere make it a relaxed yet exciting outing. Whether you are visiting the coast for the day or exploring the Blakeney area, a seal trip with Bishops Boats is a memorable highlight.
