Join us on one of our boat trips to explore the UK’s first National Marine Park.
Looking for the perfect adventure in Plymouth Sound? Join us on one of our boat trips to explore the UK’s first National Marine Park! Our boat trips offer a unique and enriching experience unlike any other, where you’ll gain a deeper understanding of marine life and conservation efforts.
Learn about the importance of seagrass meadows, encounter fascinating local marine species such as Spider crabs and Starfish, and participate in a plankton trawl to observe the tiny creatures under a microscope.
Our Boat trips depart on selected dates at 10:30am, from the historic Barbican (from the Barbican landing stage). Meet our Ocean Discovery Rangers outside the Aquarium at 10am, then head over to the Silver Crest, where our crew will take us for an hour’s adventure on the waves. We have a capacity of 35 on our Boat Trips!

Embark on a sunset sail and discover Plymouth Sound National Marine Park
Looking for something a little different? On select evenings, we’re also offering a special adults-only sunset sail around Plymouth Sound.
Setting off at 18:00, this hour-long experience includes a guided tour from our Ocean Discovery Rangers as you explore the UK’s first National Marine Park. Watch the sun dip beyond the breakwater while learning about the diverse marine wildlife that calls Plymouth home.
It’s the perfect way to unwind after work, ideal for date nights or catching up with friends – and with the Barbican just a short walk away, you can make a full evening of it with food or drinks by the water after your trip.
