The best and easiest parking is in the long stay car park just as you enter West Bay from Bridport

West Bay Road Car Park – DT6 4EW

It’s then just a 4-6 minute walk to the harbour – look out for our flags

All passengers must wear, at least, a T-shirt under their life jacket – no naked bodies please!

Footwear isn’t essential – but no heels or muddy shoes please!

Jacket/jumper/hoodie is ideal for the Golden Hour Cruises, you won’t be over dressed, even in summer.

Any person deemed unfit to travel through misuse of alcohol or drugs shall not be permitted aboard any LBRC vessel.

Any person not able bodied enough to embark/disembark unassisted will be strongly advised not to travel (offer of a hand at Skippers discretion)

Any person with a neck, back, hip or knee condition, or any person who is pregnant will be strongly advised not to travel aboard any LBRC vessel (at skippers discretion).

We are unable to take any pets on any vessel.

We have a minimum age policy of 5 years for ALL trips, with an adult, if the sea state is flat and calm

This age is then raised at the Skippers discretion, as the wind speed/wave size increases

Passengers are made aware of this at the outset when booking

The Skippers word is final

The child age range is between 5 – 11 years inclusive

LBRC adopt this policy to prevent risk against back injury, spinal compression injury or shaking injury to a child

Crew will supply and fit every passenger with an auto inflate lifejacket

Children/juniors will be issued with a life jacket specific to their size and weight

Your Skipper will give a full safety briefing before you go to sea

Any person inflating their lifejacket outside of an emergency or instruction from the Skipper will be charged a £20 rearming fee per jacket
