Join us as we head into Plymouth sound to explore the wonder of the waves
This year, the Ocean Conservation Trust are exploring the UK’s first National Marine Park, setting sail on selected dates throughout the year. The National Marine Aquarium’s Ocean Discovery Rangers will help you discover our British wildlife, from big to small, as well as the history of Plymouth’s stunning natural harbour. Our Boat Trips are open to everyone, so why not learn something new with our dedicated team of Ocean conservationists in 2024!
Our Boat Trips depart on selected dates at 10:30am, from the historic Barbican (from the Barbican Landing Stage). Meet our Ocean Discovery Rangers outside the National Marine Aquarium at 10am, then head over to the Silver Crest, where our crew will take us for an hour’s adventure on the waves. We have a capacity of 35 on our Boat Trips!
