Beans Boat Trips

About Beans Boat Trips

Beans Boat Trips offer a fantastic opportunity to see the seals and birds close up at Blakeney Point without disturbing them.

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 (common, 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 which on its own lasts for about one hour (more details on the website!)

Seats are limited so to avoid disappointment we advise you to telephone and book your trip in advance.
