About Whitstable boat tours

Whitstable Boat tours started with a 7.8m Ribeye. We ran this under Oyster Coast Water sports which is an RYA training centre based at Long Beach to the East of the harbour. They will still use our boat for RYA advanced lessons. They rent out kayaks stand-up paddle boards as well as small dinghies. We have now branched out by ourselves and bought our new 12-seater boat. Amma Sigga our new boat, we imported from Iceland where it was used for spotting Whales. it was coded to a Uk spec in May and here we are now. Please come and experience a fantastic trip and other things we do. Did you know our team won the prestigious “Trip advisor” top ten per cent trips in the world? Come and visit the Maunsell sea forts with us. Whitstable what to do equals a boat tour.
