Daily boat trips to see the SEALS & BIRDS in their natural environment at BLAKENEY POINT

With over 80 years experience of operating in Blakeney Harbour, a trip to the Blakeney Seals with Beans Boats offers a rare opportunity to get ‘up close and personal ’ to the resident Grey seal and Common Seal colonies without causing disturbance.
After boarding one of our five custom ferries at Morston we head up Morston Creek and out into Blakeney Harbour. Relax and enjoy the beautiful Norfolk Coastline from the shelter of the harbour or keep an eye out for resident and migrating birds.

As Blakeney Point is one of the most important sites for migrating birds in Europe, there's plenty to see on our way to the Seal Colony. Passing the old Blakeney Lifeboat station our crew tell you something of the local history and about the harbour before you arrive at the end of Blakeney Point where Common and Grey Seals can usually be found hauled out. We spend time getting in close and turning to allow plenty of opportunity for photos, inquisitive seals will also frequently pop out around the boat.

WINTER RATES 1st NOVEMBER - 31st MARCH 2025 **
Blakeney Point has become probably the most important breeding site for Grey Seals in the British Isles. Female Grey Seals deliver their pups late Autumn around mid November through December, with typically four to five thousand pups a visit to the breeding colony on the Point is one of the most exhilarating wildlife experiences anywhere in Britain and one not to be missed.

Don't forget to wrap up warm!

As seats are now very limited - to avoid disappointment we strongly advise you to book

** Due to how the MCA apply current regulations we are only able to carry a reduced number of passengers during the Winter Season, meaning a significant increase in our operating costs which we reluctantly need to reflect in a seasonal increase in ticket prices for the coming Winter.
