Boat Trips & Fishing

A visit to Northumberland would not be complete without a trip to the Farne Islands. Sitting just over two miles off the coast, between Seahouses and Bamburgh, the islands are one of the best places in the UK to see seabirds, puffins and grey seals in their natural habitat.

Boat trips run regularly from Seahouses Harbour throughout the season, usually from Easter to October, giving visitors the chance to experience this spectacular wildlife haven up close.

For those who enjoy being out on the water, Seahouses also offers fishing trips, coastal cruises and diving experiences around the Farne Islands and the Northumberland coastline. Whether you want to catch your supper, enjoy a scenic cruise or explore the coast from a different perspective, there is a trip to suit every interest.

Sea angling is very popular along this stretch of coast, with licensed boats offering trips from Seahouses and nearby harbours. Shore fishing is also available at Embleton, Beadnell, Hauxley, Craster, Amble and Alnmouth.

For river fishing, the River Coquet is well known for salmon and sea trout, with day and weekly tickets available. The River Tweed also offers excellent fishing opportunities.
