The best and easiest parking is in the long stay car park just as you enter West Bay from Bridport

West Bay Road Car Park – DT6 4EW

It’s then just a 4-6 minute walk to the harbour – look out for our flags

All passengers must wear, at least, a T-shirt under their life jacket – no naked bodies please!

Footwear isn’t essential – but no heels or muddy shoes please!

Jacket/jumper/hoodie is ideal for the Golden Hour Cruises, you won’t be over dressed, even in summer.

Any person not able bodied enough to embark/disembark unassisted will be strongly advised not to travel (offer of a hand at Skippers discretion)

We are unable to take any pets on any vessel.

We have a minimum age policy of 5 years for ALL trips, with an adult, if the sea state is flat and calm

This age is then raised at the Skippers discretion, as the wind speed/wave size increases

The Skippers word is final

The child age range is between 5 – 11 years inclusive

LBRC adopt this policy to prevent risk against back injury, spinal compression injury or shaking injury to a child

Crew will supply and fit every passenger with an auto inflate lifejacket

Children/juniors will be issued with a life jacket specific to their size and weight

Your Skipper will give a full safety briefing before you go to sea
