Whitby has a long history of seafaring. From the historic voyages of Captain James Cook, to being one of the busiest whaling ports and home to one of the largest fishing fleets in the UK, Whitby's seafaring heritage is hard to beat!

Today Whitby is still home to fishing vessels of all shapes and sizes. It's also home to some of the best fish restaurants and fish & chip takeaways in the country.

The Yellow Boats sail on short trips out to sea around the bay with the biggest and best boats in the harbour. Our fares are the cheapest and under fives go free Toilets on Symmer Queen  and Esk Belle

We also sail on longer trips along the coast, wildlife and whale watching cruises, trips to seal colony at Ravenscar, Sunset and twilight trips and River trips down to Ruswarp along the Esk.

As well as daily short trips, we operate a number of special cruises providing plenty of opportunity to see some of the Yorkshire coast's amazing wildlife or experience a sunset from the sea!
