Onboard

A yellow boat, a friendly crew, and the whole coast to yourself.

Brownsea Boats is a small, family-run operation sailing daily from Poole Quay. Our boats are unmistakable — bright yellow with red trim — and our crew are the hardest working, most helpful people on the water.

Onboard a Brownsea Boats cruise

What to expect.

  • Two decks, two moods

    The upper deck is open-air with panoramic views. The lower deck is heated, with wooden tables and big windows.

  • Live commentary

    Our skippers narrate every stretch of coast from the wheelhouse — history, wildlife and local secrets.

  • Cold drinks & snacks

    Ice-cold beers, soft drinks, tea, coffee and crisps served from the onboard bar.

  • A crew who cares

    We'll help with prams, mobility, photos and questions — just ask any of the crew in yellow.
