Harwich Harbour Ferry Services

Last night's National Transport Award was great. Presented by Jeremy Vine and keynote speaker Rt Hon Chris Grayling, Secretary of State for Transport. I didn't think we take anything home but got an award as highly commended Ferry operator of the year! Thank you John for joining me and for supporting our great little ferry.

Big cruise ship arrived today.

1st and 2nd of September. Check it out.

Went from Shotley to Harwich yesterday with 2 small children and 2 buggies. The two guys on the ferry could not have been more helpful even providing blankets for the children on the return journey as it had turned chilly. Would definitely recommend this service and will be using it again soon 🛳�

We went on the seal watching trip this morning and it was brilliant. Far exceeded expectations. Saw loads of seals both on land and swimming. Skipper was knowledgeable and you felt safe in his hands. Will probably go again.

We went on a Seal Spotting trip this morning. We wasn't disappointed. Far from it. A fantastic and enjoyable way to spend a few hours. Thankyou.

We took our toddler for his first boat trip today from Shotley to Felixstowe via Harwuch. He had a ball, and the experience was brilliant. Even though it was very choppy & wet on the way home, it was still fun - he even fell asleep!!

The onboard crew were so friendly and incredibly helpful with the buggy.

Will definitely do this again! Thank you .

We loved the Seal Watching trip yesterday, seeing several groups of Seals. The boat is small - takes about 15 people and can get a bit wet when going against the wind ( however they provide ponchos to keep you dry if you want to stay out) but you can go in the cabin. They also provide Binoculars for watching the Seals close up. Cristian ( the owner) really tries to help everyone's experience and ensures everyone gets a good view of the Seals. We live nearby and it's great to be able to see the seals like this, it's well worth doing!

We just got back from seal trip was absolutely amazing ... highly recommend and would definitely go again boys were well excited and can't wait to do it again xxx

We had a lovely trip over to Felixstowe today. Really easy web site to use and pay before you travel. On time service with lovely people running the service. Great cafe at the drop off point in Felixstowe. Number 77 bus at the car park takes you to the town centre. Will be using the ferry again in summer. Thank you for a lovely trip.

We had a great trip this morning on the Sealspotter and saw lots of seals. Would highly recommend this trip, good value for money.

We absolutely loved our seal watching trip this morning!

Shame the weather wasn't better but that is out of everyones control.

We still saw plenty of seals and even some babies! So sweet!

We will definitely be back to see the seals again...fingers crossed it will be a better day.

Would recommend to anyone that loves nature.

My son said it was the best thing he has done this whole summer holidays :)

Seal watching trip this morning was fantastic. Would thoroughly recommend.

Private hire of the ferry for a birthday cruise was wonderful, and the sunset appeared through the clouds right on cue!!! Easy to organise with Christian and Mick was a fabulous skipper. Very relaxed and enjoyable, highly recommended!!!

Lovely trip to see the seals bank holiday Monday, easy to book on line, skipper was lovely friendly and informative.

Friendly Staff, Booking online was very easy, Had a great smooth crossing.

Fantastic seal trip yesterday! Loved the trip across Dovercourt Bay to see lots of seals in the backwaters. Friendly skipper and great value for money too. Can't wait to do another trip!

Excellent! Had a great trip out with our grandchildren ages 4 & 2. Both enjoyed the boat trip and seeing the seals very close up.

Excellent service and a real pleasure. My friends and I loved the seal watching. I will be using this service again.

Brill trip ,kids loved the bumpy waves 😬And well worth the money ,would definitely recommend doing this & will be back again,staff were really friendly too ,thank you xx

Brill day! Great for all ages! Well worth a trip! Get so close to the seals in their own environment.. lovely day all round

An excellent trip, the outward boat ride was fantastic skimming across the waves and getting washed by the sea spray. Then we arrived, wow the seals were amazing we were so close you could almost touch them. This is one excursion that really must be tried, an adventure.
