Lovely trip around Poole Harbour
We had a lovely trip around Poole Harbour with Coastal Cruises as part of an outing organised by the Dorset Deaf Children's Society. The commentary throughout the cruise was interesting and informative, and it was a great way to learn more about the harbour while enjoying the scenery.The highlight for our children was being invited up to the wheelhouse to have a turn holding the wheel with the captain. It was such a special experience and made the trip even more memorable.The crew were friendly and welcoming, and we had a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon. We'd definitely recommend this trip to anyone visiting the area.

Lovely cruise around Poole Harbour
We had a lovely morning cruising round Poole Harbour on Sunday with the Dorset Deaf Children’s Society! The planned day to Swanage unfortunately had to be changed due to the windy weather. Despite this, we had a lovely time and my daughter was even able to have a go at steering the boat! The captain was great and so were the other staff members on board. The commentary was informative with a flare of comedy which we enjoyed also. Thank you so much coastal cruises!

I have been on a lot of excursions but this may have been my favorite. It was a lot of fun, the views were amazing and all the equipment was top notch. The price was reasonable given the length of the tour and the equipment.

Very friendly and knowledgeable guide made the history of the town come to life and welcomed questions which she obviously enjoyed responding to. Highly recommend to learn more about what's hidden behind the much changed exteriors of the modern town

Another brilliant company summer party, thanks to Coastal Cruises!
When we asked our staff what they'd like to do for this year's company summer party, there was only one answer - COASTAL CRUISES. Following a perfect evening spent with them in 2025, we opted for the exact same again. From start to finish, the evening cruise with fish & chips, welcome drinks, a DJ and a Bar on board - was just seamless. The staff are brilliant, and the booking process was super easy. Don't delay, book these guys for any party you're planning! 10/10 from Zest!

The weather was perfect warm and calm. The Jurassic rocks were amazing and the sights of Sandbanks. Perfect sunset 🌇 Bring a light jacket/cardigan because even though it was 80f/27c it gets cooler on the return.

E-bike tour for the family.
My teenagers, my husband and I went on a 3 hour e bike tour of some of Swanage’s and around, hot spots. Nike was super relaxed and very accommodating with whatever pace or route option we wanted to choose from. Highly recommend especially if you have teenagers that you struggle to get outdoors. They both thoroughly enjoyed it!
