Experience the wonderful seals and natural beauty of Chichester Harbour on our eco-friendly solar-powered boat, Solar Heritage. A trip aboard offers a quiet and peaceful way to enjoy the harbour and the perfect way to observe the special seals in their natural habitat. One of our wonderful seal experts will be on board to provide commentary as you travel and answer any questions you may have. The boat is open-sided with superb views of the seals and beautiful panoramic harbour views. There is a large, stable deck and freedom to move around once the trip is underway. This trip is up to three hours duration. We ask for passengers to remain quiet and still while observing the seals and avoid any sudden noises or movements so all can enjoy these wonderful creatures in their natural habitat. As such, and due to the extended duration, these trips are recommended for children 8 years of age and above. 

Points to note:

-Binoculars are available to borrow but we recommend bringing your own, if you have them, as there may not be enough to go around if the boat is full.

-Dress very warmly with layers, coats and hats/gloves – it is always colder on the water. You may wish to bring a cushion to sit on and a blanket. You are welcome to bring your own food/refreshments if you wish, we just ask for no glass drinking glasses please in case of breakages.

-The boat is fitted with a passenger lift and is wheelchair-accessible. If you require the use of the lift please select the appropriate ticket when booking or contact the harbour office on 01243 512301 or by emailing activities@conservancy.co.uk (monitored during office hours, Monday-Friday 9am-4.30pm excluding bank holidays). The wheelchair lift platform measures 120cm x 80cm with a maximum weight limit of 300kg. Please see our FAQs on the website for pictures and more information: https://boattripschichesterharbour.co.uk/frequently-asked-questions/

-There is a small toilet on board (apologies this is not wheelchair accessible). 

-Lifejackets are available. They are not required to be worn as standard but you can if you wish-please ask your crew member on board.

-Sorry, no dogs except assistance dogs on our dedicated bird and seal trips. We offer dog-friendly- sailings on our general harbour discovery tours which run April to September.
