Kittiwake Charters

Established in 2023, Kittiwake Charters offers a unique and intimate experience along the stunning North Devon coastline. Departing from Ilfracombe Harbour and operating from April through to October, we specialise in coastal cruises and private charters with a truly personal touch.

With a maximum of just 12 guests on board, every trip is relaxed, comfortable, and tailored to you. As a proud family-run business, we are committed to delivering exceptional, five-star customer service and creating memorable experiences for every passenger. Our experienced skippers are also active crew members of the RNLI, bringing a high level of professionalism, local knowledge, and safety to every journey.

Join us to encounter seals, porpoises, dolphins, and a rich variety of seabirds as we explore some of North Devon’s most breathtaking locations. Our trips include visits to Lundy Island, Woolacombe, Morte Point, Watermouth Harbour, Broadsands Bay, Combe Martin, Lynton & Lynmouth, and the dramatic Exmoor coastline.

We also offer unforgettable “swim with seals” experiences at Lundy Island, giving you the chance to get even closer to North Devon’s incredible marine life.

Kittiwake Charters is proud to be part of the North Devon Biosphere’s Marine Wildlife Aware accreditation, reflecting our commitment to responsible wildlife encounters and protecting the environment we operate in.
