THE BEST WAY TO SEE SARK
BOAT TOURS WITH SARK LOCALS
THE TOUR
Departing from the ‘Creux’ Harbour, the original fishing port on Sark we will take a leisurely two and a half hour trip around the Island, exploring the bays, coves and secret caves.
In season you can see our sea birds such as puffins, guillemots, razor-bills, cormorants and many others. There is also the chance of seeing some of Sark’s other sea life such as dolphins and seals, even basking sharks and sunfish.
We usually run two trips daily, at 11am and 2pm weather dependent.
THE BOAT
Rebuilt in 2024, the Dorado is a purpose built Treeve Marine 25’ , one of the most successful British built boats. She was commissioned in 1980 for Dominic Wakey who ran tours around the island until the mid 90’s when he refitted the Dorado as a fishing boat.
After the loss of Non Pareil, our much loved wooden Sark built boat, we have restored the Dorado as a tour boat once again! She is a 25ft GRP hull and comfortably carries up to 12 passengers. On board is a toilet and full safety equipment including life jackets and lifeboats for all passengers and crew.
CHARTERS
Did you know we do charters?
If you are a larger group and/or would just like the boat to yourself we can arrange a charter tour! We can do specific tours such as; a tour to see the sea birds of L’Etac, an early morning / late evening cruise.
Or perhaps you fancy a trip around to one of Sark’s secluded bays. We can provide SUP’s, snorkeling gear and even a packed lunch.

SARK ISLAND
Sark is the crown jewel of the Channel Islands, nestled in between Guernsey and Jersey.
Sark offers a truly unique holiday experience for those wanting to escape the bright lights and noise of the city. A visit to our car-free island is like a step back in time and visitors are sure to be blown away by the stunning scenery, bays, coastal paths and cliff top views.
Sark is also the world's first 'Dark Sky' Island, offering spectacular star gazing throughout the year and the Goliout headland is a world recognized Ramsar site
The Island's 22 mile coastline is a treasure trove of small coves, creeks, caves, inlets and bays, all teaming with sea life both above and below the water.
Did you know?:
Sark has a tidal range of around 10m. which means no trip around the island will be the same, on some tides we can access caves, on others we can get within touching distance of some of the off-shore rocks.
On a ‘Spring low’ tide we can show you some of the many scrambling routes on Sark.
GETTING HERE
Just a 50 minute boat ride from Guernsey, Sark feels an entire world away. Several ferries run daily during summer with daily trips during off season.
