Come and explore more of North Devon from our purpose built Humber RIBs "Pioneer" & "Lundy Explorer" or our newly built 12m SeaSwift Catamaran!

Our trips are suitable for all ages and provide fun for all the family. Children must be accompanied by an adult. Please remember to wear warm clothing as its always colder at sea than on land. Life jackets are provided and the vessel carries all the latest safety equipment to comply with the coastguard codes of practice including Radar & AIS.

All of our skippers are first aid trained and hold RYA commercially endorsed qualifications or higher, Fire fighting, Sea survival as well as various other navigation and diving qualifications and are involved or have been involved with Ilfracombe Lifeboat station for many years, meaning their local knowledge is second to none and you really couldn’t be in safer hands. 

Both Humber RIBs run twin Evinrude Etec 200hp HO two-stroke engines and are rated at Three star* from the toughest emissions standard in the world. Plus, BRP through its Evinrude brand, is the only outboard to win the EPA's Clean Air Technology Excellence Award**. They also were the first two- stroke engine in more than 30 years authorised to operate on Lake Constance in central Europe, one of the most rigourously protected bodies of water on the planet.

Sea Swift Catamaran runs on a Hydrofoil system with twin Volvo Penta D4 engines offering you plenty of comfort, speed and lots of seating inside and out.

Here at Ilfracombe Sea Safari's we do our upmost to protect the environment and the wildlife that lives along our coastline by using the best equipment available to us as we believe it is key.
