Great fun off the coast of Brighton! - A fabulous 90 minute trip on a 12 seater rib starting in Newhaven and ending at Beachy Head Lighthouse, Eastbourne. Fronted by the hugely professional team of John (the main man) and Dom (the driver) with great emphasis on safety…without at any time making it boring! John is highly charismatic and made it fun and memorable for all on board. Highly recommended!

An excellent way to enjoy the coastline of East Sussex - A really excellent experience and I live locally and had never seen the coast from the sea so learnt a lot and enjoyed a thrilling ride to see the Seven (8) sisters and the lighthouse. Excellent guide who made us all feel very welcome and was very personable and really made the trip extra special. Would definitely do another tour.

Great Family Birthday Memories - I booked this trip as a birthday treat for family. What a fabulous time we had with the youngest ones not being on a fast boat before. John was brilliant from the start making sure we all had our life jackets on and explained all the safety bits clearly. John spent time getting to know who was on his boat asking us all our names. Throughout the trip John spent time informing us of our beautiful coastline really getting us all involved and making the trip fun. He was particularly fab with my youngest grandchild who was only 5 he got him involved which he loved, answering with some very funny replies. John also amazingly remembered all our names throughout the trip. There was lots of laughter and smiles and we all loved the exhilaration of the boat. All In all we had a fabulous time and we didn't want it to end. A great trip for young and old. Great birthday memories made. Thank you John we will be back.

Seven Sisters fast boat trip - We took our two grandchildren aged nine and eleven on this trip and we all had a great time. Wearing life jackets, we boarded the rib in Newhaven harbour and were taken out along the coast under the Seven Sisters cliffs. John, the helmsman, gave us interesting facts about the area and he even allowed a dog on board, ( who was very well behaved). The children found it very exciting as they had not done a fast boat ride before. I would thoroughly recommend Sussex Boat Trips.

Exhilarating and educational! - Absolutely fantastic trip. John is a most friendly, charismatic and knowledgeable skipper. We took the trip with friends from Oz who are well-seasoned in all water-based activities and they loved it. Seeing the Seaford, Seven Sisters and Beachy Head area from on the water enhances the beauty and history of the area even more. Thoroughly recommend John and his team for a safe, exhilarating and educational boat trip

5 star trip - Extremely well organised and conducted trip. The skipper John took trouble to explain very well what we were seeing, explaining in a suitable manner for the children.
