Seal trips on the North Norfolk coast
The next open window for seal trips is Wed 21 Oct at Blakeney, from about 01:00 ±30 min.
The boats to Blakeney Point run on the tide, so their departure times move every day.

Always use your judgement about your own competence, the on-the-day conditions and the type of vessel or activity you intend to take out before embarking on your trip. This website offers some indications but must not be used for navigation or making a decision that could put yourself or others in peril.
Where these windows come from
Every window above was published by somebody else. We put it next to the tide and the forecast; we did not decide it. If you are hiring, the people you hire from will know the day’s conditions better than any forecast does.
- Blakeney
- the Blakeney Harbour Association — “shoal-draft boats reach the harbour about an hour either side of high water on springs”
- Morston
- the Blakeney Harbour Association — “about two hours either side of high water, for shoal-draft boats”
- Departure times are set by the operators and move with the tide every day. Beans Boats ask you to arrive 30 minutes before your slot.
- 🔴 Always check with the operator before travelling. They decide whether the boat runs, and they know the day’s conditions — this page does not.
About the wind figures
The wind here is a forecast for ten metres above the ground, on a grid whose cells are wider than the gaps between these places — so neighbouring locations often share one figure. It is not a measurement at the water’s edge, and it knows nothing about shelter behind the dunes or how much harder it blows further out.
