Visit the Maunsell sea forts within the Thames Estuary
Welcome to Whitstable boat tours ( Boat trips Ltd), where we specialise in taking groups of up to twelve people on our exciting boat trips to the Whitstable sea forts. We go out to the Maunsell Sea Forts on the red Sands off Whitstable, which are undeniably fantastic structures. From Whitstable harbour, it’s only a fifteen-minute journey out to the forts, where you’ll be given a brief talk on the fortifications and their history.
These structures look like the striding machines from the classic novel war of the world. The red sands sea forts are seven miles from the Kent coast in the Thames estuary and 7 miles from the Essex coast. If you were on a world war 2 plane, you would be only 12 minutes from Central London. In short, this made them a significant defence against London. We will spend five to ten minutes chatting about the Guy Maunsell red sand sea forts and getting some great photos. Did you know they have had an interesting history and were once pirate radio stations?

Whitstable boat trips visit the seals just off Faversham creek seals. Our advanced skippers navigate the tide and the waves to the Horse sands. These lie between the isle of Sheppey and Faversham to see a large seal colony. These fascinating creatures have become more prominent as wind farms have become more extensive. The fish life has increased under the legs of the wind farms, clearly helping the seal colony thrive. This has created an ideal place for fish to breed in ever-increasing numbers of seals. The seat cost to see the seals is £25 for those under 16’s and £35 for adults.

The Guy Maunsell sea forts on the red sands is a fantastic boat tour, and then it is a short boat trip from Kentish Flats wind farm.
