Overview

We are a genuine wholly-owned small family-run business that has been established for a very long time. Our boat, the Golden Gate, was purpose-built in Seahouses for the Farne Islands and in particular, Trinity House duties to the Lighthouses. George, the skipper and lighthouse attendant, has sailed around these islands for a very long time. You will receive unsurpassable commentary and quirky knowledge from him. Seasonal seabirds such as puffins, guillemots, terns etc can only be guaranteed to be seen may-July. Since Covid-19 broke, we don't aim to pack our boat fully to increase customer experience. We aim for ultimate customer satisfaction and strive to meet all customer's expectations before and after the trip.

Meeting Point





Meet at Golden Gate Farne Islands booking office down Seahouses Harbour 20-30 minutes before departure. The booking office is painted is navy at the bottom, white at the top with a gold band around the middle.

End Point

This activity ends back at the meeting point.

What To Expect


1. Farne Islands A 90-minute cruise around the Farne Islands. You will receive an expert commentary en route by the current Trinity House Lighthouse attendant. You will see resident seabirds such as cormorants, shags, gulls, and grey seals all year. During May-July you will also see seasonal birds such as puffins, guillemots, razorbills, terns, etc. After this time, we can not guarantee to see the seasonal birds for example puffins. Although, there is still plenty to see.
2. Longstone Lighthouse You will sail up to Longstone Lighthouse, the former home of our local heroine Grace Darling. Here you will receive expert commentary on the structure and it's history. You will also traverse Grace Darling's rescue route with current lighthouse attendant George.
