Awesome sea trip - Amazing trip out into the North Sea to see the seals. Ride out was choppy, bouncy and wet but fun. The seals were very interested in our boat with their little heads popping up out of the water to stare at us like little sea going meerkats! Good waterproofs were provided. Warm clothes & waterproof boots are recommended!

GREAT EXPERIENCE - EXCELLENT TRIP WITH A VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE AND HUMOROUR CREW. GOT VERY CLOSE TO HUNDREDS OF SEALS. GOOD WATERPROOF SUITS PROVIDED (NECESSARY!). A SUPER WAY TO SPEND 90 MINUTES OR SO.

Amazing experience seeing the seals! - Just want to say thanks to John and the team for an amazing experience and making us feel safe and comfortable on board the boat and seeing the seals and hearing them sing. The experience felt like we was in a James Bond chase! If you haven't experience one of these trips to go out on a boat and see the seals then what are you waiting for? Get it booked :) Thanks again John and the team.

Jet Adventures - What a great adventure, such a professional team from start to finish, sea was a little rough but made it more fun jumping the waves & getting wet from the sea spray, seals ran into the water to greet us,if we come back to the area we will definitely go again. Thank you for a great experience.

A great trip out at sea - I would highly recommend this trip. The guys on the boat were friendly, helpful and very knowledgeable. The seals were so entertaining and a real treat to watch them watching us. The boat was fast, exciting and we got very wet but it all added to the joy of the trip. Well worth the money, an experience to remember.

Scroby Sands Seals - Family of 7 (4 adults and 3 children. Seemed expensive upon booking but ultimately worth every penny. Speedboat ride was exhilarating and watching the seals was fascinating. Couldn’t recommend it more!
