Starting your adventure in Brighton
When planning a boat trip along the Sussex coast, the departure point makes a big difference.
Some trips start from smaller harbours or nearby villages, which can mean extra travel and fewer facilities nearby.
Brighton Marina offers a much more convenient starting point.
Easy to reach for visitors
Brighton Marina is located just east of the city centre and is easy to reach by taxi, bus or a short walk along the seafront.
For visitors staying in Brighton hotels or holiday rentals, it’s usually only a few minutes away.
That means you can simply arrive, step aboard and start your trip without a complicated journey.
Plenty to do before or after your trip
One of the best things about Brighton Marina is that it’s more than just a harbour.
The marina area has:
excellent restaurants
cafés and bars
seaside walks
shops and entertainment
Many guests like to enjoy lunch or dinner here after returning from the trip.
It turns the boat excursion into part of a relaxed day out.
A lively but relaxed atmosphere
Brighton Marina has a welcoming seaside atmosphere. You’ll see sailing boats, fishing vessels and visitors enjoying the harbour views.
It’s the perfect place to begin a coastal adventure along the famous Seven Sisters.
A great addition to your Brighton visit
For many visitors, combining Brighton’s vibrant city life with a peaceful boat trip along the cliffs creates the perfect balance.
You get the best of both worlds: the energy of Brighton and the beauty of the Sussex coastline.
