Beans Boat Trips - Blakeney

About Beans Boat Trips - Blakeney

Beans boats was started over 50 years ago and has remained a family run business ever since.We run daily boat trips through the summer and also regularly throughout the winter. (visit the website for departure times and how to book!) The boat trips are a very popular and safe way to see the seals and birds close up at Blakeney Point without disturbance.

One of our 5 licensed boats will take you into Blakeney harbour and head for the far point, (we don't go out to the open sea) here we sail very close to the seals and there is ample time for photographs and the knowledgable crew are happy to answer any questions.

The seal colony is made up of common and grey seals and number around 500 so we generally always see some. The common seals pup between June & August, & the Greys between November and January. The far Point is also a great place to see the migrant birds, the Terns (commom, sandwich, little and artic) are regular visitors to Blakeney Point from April until late summer, these birds can be seen from the boat and also from one of the hides onshore.

The National Trust took over Blakeney Point in 1912 and is an international breeding ground, for not only the terns but numerous other sea birds including thousands of ducks and geese throughout the winter months.
We include landing on Blakeney Point on certain trips when the tide and weather allows (usually 1/2 to 1 hour), this is added to the seal trip whch on its own lasts for about one hour (more details on the website!)
The boat trips cater for all ages and apart from the daily charters we also can provide boats for a private charter, perhaps a birthday or anniversary, hen party, ashes scattering,etc. Schools, groups and bus party bookings are also welcomed (discounts and group pricing available on request)
