Wonderful time out, amidst the seals. - What an amazing trip. We saw seals and were lucky enough to see dolphins, too. Great staff and absolutely would recommend. Just speak to John about what you'd like to achieve from your trip.

Sea dogs, land dogs and a very fast boat! - A really fun boat trip and dog friendly too. The jet adventures team were very friendly and informative. They provided extra jackets (optional) as well as life jackets, and our dog got a special doggy life jacket too It was wonderful to see the seals and watch them bob up and down in the water and on the island, so a really exciting trip and and lovely day out!

Not to be missed! - What a fantastic experience we had today. We were all rather wet but so much fun! The seals came quite close and we were offered binoculars to see them even closer. John and Jas couldn’t have been more welcoming and looked after everyone, especially the nervous and young passengers. Thanks for an amazing experience!

Seals Galore - We were on the seal watching trip that Dazzle was on. What a wonderful trip out. Very pleasant and knowledgeable crew, waterproofs provided if you needed them, and loads of seals. And the porpoise who put in an appearance made for a great experience. Can't recommend this trip highly enough.

Seal watching. - Great trip - really calm sea so kept dry! Saw hundreds of seals and an unusual sighting of a porpoise. Crew were very helpful and knowledgeable and we had a fab time. Our dog came onboard too and was made very welcome.

Exhilarating boat trip to Scroby - Wow!! What a fantastic trip. We arrived to a very friendly welcome, were kitted out in waterproofs and safety gear then off we went. An exhilarating ride along the coast towards the wind farm and Scroby. Can’t believe the number of seals, many swam around the boat whilst others relaxed on the sand banks. John and Mark were very informative about the seals/wildlife/surrounding area. Definitely recommend this trip!!

Seal trip - A thrilling boat trip with entertaining hosts (John and Fliss), out to Scroby Sands to see the seals in their natural habitat. I loved that they were not afraid of us and were perhaps more inquisitive of us, swimming right up to the boat, which had been anchored with the engine turned off. Lacking boat knowledge but enjoyed the nostalgia of seeing a coal fuelled boat sailing close to Lowestoft - the Lydia Eva. We circled her and waved to the crew, an enjoyable ‘extra’.

Fantastic trip with Jet Adventures - Fantastic trip with Jet Adventures to Scroby Sands. The sea conditions were calm and we had great views of the coastline. So many inquisitive seals came to see us while we were moored close to Scroby Sands. On our way back we were lucky enough to see around 8 local lifeboats out on the sea, not on a rescue mission but a special event involving the handing over of a new life boat, that was very impressive. The crew were brilliant, they were so knowledgable and made our trip great fun.
