About

The best way to see the Blakeney Point seals is with Bishop’s Boats, who have been operating since 1965!

Blakeney Point, on the North Norfolk coast, has one of the largest Grey seal colony’s in England. Common seals are also spotted hauled out on the sandbank where they have their pups from June until the end of August. Let us welcome you on board where our skippers will spend plenty of time getting close to the seals, which will either be basking on Blakeney Point or popping up around the boat. This is the closest you will ever get to see seals in their natural habitat.

We offer an unforgettable wildlife experience suitable for all ages.  Boat trips usually last about an hour and offer an excellent chance to see seals up close, either lounging on the sandbanks or swimming in the surrounding waters. Along the way, you’ll pass through the picturesque Morston salt marshes and catch a glimpse of the historic Blakeney Lifeboat Station. Friendly, well-informed crews provide commentary on the local wildlife and history, making the outing both educational and enjoyable. These excursions are perfect for families, photographers, and anyone with a love for nature.

  • Our one hour Blakeney Point seal trips depart daily from Morston Quay where the National Trust have a large car park, cafe and toilets.
  • Our friendly and knowledgeable crew will guide you throughout your tour on the beautiful North Norfolk coast.
  • Well behaved dogs are welcome.
