About this activity
Poole Harbour with its many islands, famous landmarks and interesting stories offers a great day out for everyone. It is the place where Jonathan Swift found his inspiration for Gulliver’s Travels and sits under the Purbecks which inspired Thomas Hardy in his brilliant writing.
The cruise takes you from Poole Quay all around the harbour and sails close to Brownsea Island and its castle, the expensive properties on Sandbanks and close to the islands which all have something unique. You can relax on the top deck on a warm summer day or sit in a heated saloon with a nice cup of tea while listening to the commentary in which the captain points out all the landmarks and speaks of the interesting history of the area.
The Blue Lagoon, Lilliput, Corfe Castle and the Sandbanks Chain Ferry are just a few of the views to mention. The cruise takes approximately 75 minutes and returns to Poole Quay.
All boats have toilets and a bar with a variety of drinks and snacks, including ice creams.

Really enjoyed the trip. Good to see things from the seaside. Got a bit of knowledge about the area. Really good
Even though not the sunniest day, my sister from away thoroughly enjoyed her trip and me....local person...learnt things I didn't know on the well presented documentary. We managed to sit outside. The harbour is stunning. Would recommend this trip.
