Poole Harbour Days Out - Quay, Brownsea and Boat Trips Without the Car

Poole Harbour is one of the largest natural harbours in the world, and in July it shows off - Brownsea Island ferries, harbour cruises, paddleboarders off Hamworthy and the Quay's restaurants full into the evening. Do the day properly: leave the car at home.

Drop-Off at the Quay

Quay parking fills fast on summer days and the surrounding streets are permit-controlled. We drop you steps from the Brownsea ferry pontoons and the restaurants - and in the evening you will not be moving a car every two hours.

Brownsea Island Timings

Ferries run roughly every half hour in season from Poole Quay and Sandbanks. Tell us your target ferry and we time the pick-up so you arrive with minutes to spare, not an hour of waiting.

The harbour is best enjoyed with a glass in hand and no car key in your pocket.

Waterside Evenings

Rick Stein at Sandbanks, the Quay's seafood restaurants, Rockfish, harbourside pubs at Hamworthy - all better by taxi. Pre-book the return and your driver is outside when coffee arrives.

Visitors Staying Locally

Holiday-let guests without a car: we are your transport for the week - beaches, the Purbecks, restaurants, and the airport or station when it ends. Save 01202 707070 to your phone on day one.
