Sussex Boat Trips

22/12/2024

If ever you reach the point in life where you think you’ve everything you have ever wished for… think again. Many of you have met whilst on the boat. He’s just returned from a Christmas trip to New York with a tub of Sussex Boat Trips branded M&M’s…! Obviously they’re orange too. Genius. 🎁 Happy Christmas everyone…! 🎄

Spotted at Cuckmere Haven this morning… a White Tailed Eagle…! It was absolutely mahoosive…! This photo is courtesy of bird.org who also gave this great description: “Massive raptor with rather long, heavy bill; broad, plank-like wings; and relatively short, graduated tail. Looks like a flying barn door and soars with wings rather level (not slightly raised like Golden Eagle). Feeds predominantly on fish.” To be fair though, even to the untrained eye, it did look like a flying barn door…!!!

We’re out on the water all this week albeit not from Newhaven. Southampton Water and the surrounding area has so much more to offer from a training perspective. Where else would you see a cruise ship lighting up a dark night for instance… whilst you’ve no sense of feeling in your legs due to the cold…?! 🥶 😀

It’s been a while since we’ve posted anything but it’s all still go at SBT Towers. We continue to train and teach whilst onshore and this week saw us passing on a few skills to those just starting in the industry. Next week the tables are turned as we’re in Southampton for some on the water training to potentially allow us to offer even more exciting adventures…! Exhausting training but hopefully really rewarding come this time next week. All we need now is for the wind to drop below 60mph…! 😬

Airbourne to return in 2025…!

We’ve everything crossed that the use of the Red Arrows in all of the promotional reports we’ve seen means that they’re making a welcome return next year. 🤞 Only time will tell but we’ll let you know as soon as we hear more.

In the meantime, we aim to be there next year so keep an eye on the website for when the trips are released. It’s an incredible afternoon on the water with undoubtedly the best seat in the house…!

Organisers say the event can go ahead next year after meeting its "cost neutral" target.

Your feedback is incredibly important to us. Asking for your thoughts immediately after a trip is often a great way to know that we’re doing it right. However, making an impact that’s so memorable and encourages you to tell the rest of the world about it is no mean feat. We consider reaching 400 reviews on to be an epic achievement. For every single one of those reviews to be five stars was unimaginable just over three years ago. Thank you. I cannot tell you just how much that means to me but hopefully it shows in every single trip we take. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🙏

It certainly wasn’t a day to be far offshore today but hiding in the shelter of the Seven Sisters was incredible…! ☀️
