The Shipping Lanes

£295.00

N.B. This booking & price is the for the whole boat at a cost of £295 with a maximum 3 passengers, which must include yourself.

The Shipping Lanes (the busiest in the world) really is a sight to behold. About a 2-hour trip but allow 3 including boarding and departing the marina.

• Board the boat and travel through the bridges in the marina, looking at all the shops and other boats as we pass.
• Then go through the big lock gates in the harbour. These are opened on the hour and every half hour.
• Head out across the sovereign shoals, past the location of the now removed Royal Sovereign Lighthouse.
• Then head over to the CS2 special marker on the edge of the first shipping lane.
• Depending on visibility we cross the East to West Shipping lane.

The shipping lanes give passage to over 400 ships per day, some of these ships are just under ½ a kilometre long and can carry up to 250,000 tons of cargo at speeds faster than the average speed boat.

Hours to allow for this trip

3, depending on sea conditions and harbour lock timings.
