Harbour Tours and Seal trips
Harbour Tours and Bird Watching in Chichester
The migrant waders arrive in Chichester Harbour during the Autumn months and stay until early Spring. Oyster Catchers, Dunline, Red Shank, Turn Stone, Green Plover, Curlew are to name but a few. Occasionally during early Autumn and late spring we have visiting osprey stopping on their way north. Another favourite is the peregrine falcons that hunt over the mud flats seeking out the smaller wading birds. There is a strong suspicion they are the same pair that nest on Chichester Cathedral!
During October though to January is the best time for bird watching in the harbour. The Brent geese have arrived in the area already and their numbers will swell!
Prices
Harbour Tour trip is £12pp Max of 12 people on board (45min trip) private charter £140
We also offer seal trips between May - October
There is a colony of over 40 Harbour and grey seals in Chichester Harbour: join Something Fishy Fishing Charters for an unforgettable chance to get close to these elusive creatures on one of our magical seal watching trips. Chichester Harbour is a natural haven for the playful seals, for many sea birds and other wildlife - let us help you to explore this area of outstanding natural beauty.
Seals Watching trips
Your trip will begin from Itchenor. Our journey into the harbour will give you the chance to watch the seals close up (although we are very careful not to disturb or distress them).
These trips take place between May and October, although they must be booked in advance, and may be subject to change if conditions are not suitable. We recommend a summer or early autumn trip if possible to maximise the chance of good visibility!
During the winter months, the seals are in their breading season. They usually become more playful and they develop their thicker, darker coats. The colony is increasing as the mature adults pair up and during our summer time trips we are seeing more and more pups!
Why not bring a picnic and make an occasion of it? We highly recommend a spot of smoked salmon and Prosecco...!
Prices
Seal watching trips are £25 per adult / £20 per child Max of 12 people on board (1 1/2 hours trip) private charter £275
