Welcome to Bishop's Boats.

We run daily seal-watching trips from early February to the beginning of November. Departing from the picturesque Blakeney harbour or Morston quay, our traditional clinker-built wooden boats wind their way down the sheltered waters of the creek to the far end of Blakeney Point, where, without going out into the open sea, you can always see seals in their natural habitat.

You'll be able to observe both common and grey seals from the boat, basking near the water's edge. Our experienced crews will tell you all about the lives of these delightful creatures, and take you in very close. There are plenty of birds to be seen too – so have your camera at the ready. These seal-watching trips last approximately 1hr.

If you would like to step ashore, we also offer some trips which combine seal-watching with a visit to Blakeney Point Nature Reserve, owned by the National Trust. Here you can visit the old lifeboat house, now an Information Centre, and make use of the hides, from which many species of birds can be seen – so don't forget your binoculars!

Booking for these trips is always advisable, particularly during holiday periods. To reserve your places, call free on 08000 740 754 between 8am - 7pm (7 days a week).
No payment for advance bookings is required until you collect your ticket. If you need to transfer or cancel a booking, please give at least one hours notice. Tickets must be collected from BLAKENEY QUAY no later than 30 minutes before sailing time.

Remember, the seals are always there, come rain or shine, so we operate in all weathers, as long as it is safe to do so. Warm or waterproof clothing is advisable, but if you should be caught out by an unexpected shower, we have waterproof plastic macs available for just £1. You can even bring your dog, but please remember it must be kept on a lead.

For further information, please phone, write, or e-mail.
