THREE ZERO is a brisk 30‑minute blast across Seaford Bay from Newhaven that strips the outing back to its essentials: wind in your face, the slap of waves, and wide views of the Seven Sisters from the sea. It isn’t a commentary tour — the point is pure motion and exposure to the coastline from the water, an energizing, short excursion for anyone wanting a direct dose of the Channel breeze and scenery.

Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE LANDSCAPE

Sea‑level views of the Seven Sisters

The route crosses Seaford Bay, offering passengers a distinctive sea perspective of the chalk cliffs known as the Seven Sisters — an open, coastal vista best experienced from the water during the 30‑minute crossing.

THE RIDE

A concentrated, exhilarating crossing

THREE ZERO delivers a short, high‑energy trip across the bay: 30 minutes of skimming the waves with emphasis on speed and the sea air rather than on guided narration or stops.

THE STYLE

No frills — just the thrills

This is not a commentary tour. The experience is intentionally minimalistic: no onboard narrative, no distractions — just the open water, fresh air and the view, all packaged into a brief excursion.

What the day feels like

What the outing feels like

Expect a compact, focused sea run: a short briefing, boarding, and then a 30‑minute crossing of Seaford Bay where the primary concerns are wind, speed and the horizon. There’s no guided commentary — the trip’s design is to let the motion, the spray and the coastal skyline be the experience.
