Take a cruise around Europe's largest natural harbour, home to the southern English town of Poole, the golden beaches of Sandbanks and Brownsea Island. Choose a seat from either the open deck or in the inside saloon, where  you will see stunning views of the exceptional landscape that surrounds it. Your cruise will last for 70 minutes and starts at Poole Quay with its old buildings and buzzing atmosphere. We recommend arriving early to take in the views before your trip starts.
