Walberswick River Trips
Sorry but we have finished scheduled rivertrips for the 2024 season. We will resume in May 2025. If you are interested in private hire please contact as as we may be able to offer some trips out of season.
Come and join us on one of our boats, Daybreeze or Seafever, for a relaxing one-hour trip along the River Blyth in Suffolk. Our qualified skipper will take you on a journey through the Walberswick Nature reserve, an area of Outstanding National Beauty, towards Blythburgh. We will recount stories of local history, the changing coastline and recall some smuggling tales as you sit back and enjoy the stunning views and wildlife that our estuary has to offer. You may even be lucky enough to spot a seal and many of the beautiful birds that frequent our river.
Ticket prices
Trips last approximately one hour and we can take up to ten passengers on each trip. Please arrive ten minutes before the time of your trip so we can fit you with life jackets.
Tickets cost £20 for adults (15 years+) and £10.00 for children (14 years and under) This ticket price includes a £5 non refundable booking fee.
Infants, under two, can travel free, although they must be included when booking.

Private Boat Hire
Our boats are available for private hire for special occasions. We have had some amazing private trips so far including proposals, birthday parties, stag and hen parties, bird watching trips, corporate trips or just families getting together.
We are happy for you to bring your own picnics, and refreshments to have on the boat; this is especially popular on the evening sunset trips.
We charge £180.00 for the whole boat for one hour's exclusive hire and can take up to 10 passengers on each trip.
