THE CRAFT

An 8‑metre Ribquest set up for private charters

The charter runs on an 8‑metre Ribquest RIB designed for private trips with a crew and seating for up to 11 guests, making it a compact but capable platform for coastal runs.

THE COAST

Scenic Sussex coastline and the Seven Sisters

Itineraries can include high-speed coastal cruising and scenic runs toward landmarks such as the Seven Sisters cliffs, offering broad coastal views from the water.

THE EXPERIENCE

Private parties, family outings and special occasions

With crewed private charters available, the boat is pitched at groups seeking a distinct day on the water—family adventures, birthdays and small celebrations all fall within its remit.

What the day feels like

What the trip feels like

Board at West Quay and set out along the Sussex coast on a crewed RIB that balances speed and stability; over two‑ or four‑hour options you’ll trade harbour bustle for open water, coastal vistas and the chance to stop for a swim or linger beneath chalk cliffs.
