Grey Seal

Wildlife watching boat trips

Based at Buckler’s Hard on the stunning Beaulieu River, join Jeff aboard Lazy Daze for an unforgettable wildlife-watching cruise. Our tranquil journeys take you along the river’s serene waters and out into the Solent, with a delightful tea and cake break along the way. The river is teeming with wildlife, and no two trips are ever the same. Regular sightings include Grey and Common Seals, as well as an impressive variety of birds, with the area being particularly excellent for spotting birds of prey.

​

The scenery along this stretch of water is breath taking, and the river is rich in history, which we’ll share with you during the cruise. In addition to our regular river trips, we also offer a range of seasonal cruises. Be sure to check our calendar or booking page for upcoming journeys.

​

Our trips include:

  • Beaulieu River Boat Trip (2.5 hours)

  • Extended Beaulieu Boat Trip (3 hours – includes a bacon sandwich at the Royal Southampton Sailing Club)

  • Beaulieu River Sunset Cruise (2 hours)

  • Newtown Harbour Boat Trip (4 hours)

  • Solent Seabird Cruise (5 hours)
