The Dunkirk Little Ship Charter and Exploration

The Dunkirk Little Ship Charter and Exploration

Curlew Coastal Charters

Float away from dry land and explore the Norfolk’s ever changing coast by boat, out into the natural wilderness of creek, beach, and sea. The ‘Lucy Lavers’ charter is a newly restored survivor from the Second World War 1940’s ‘Operation Dynamo’, or as it’s more commonly known, Dunkirk. She was one of two Aldeburgh RNLI vessels to cross the Channel. She also served two stints as Wells-next-the Sea support lifeboat. Now she takes you on a unique peaceful exploration of secret beaches, ever changing tidal creeks flowing under huge skies that are laced with the sounds of geese and curlew. Look carefully and you might catch a glimpse of the delicate redshank probing the mud, with its bright red legs or perhaps the inky black brent goose with its half white collar. Charter Lucy Lavers and create your own itinerary, perhaps visit Blakeney Point, arriving offshore you will see seals laying on the sand glancing up at your boat as it bobs gently on the tide. If you are lucky, curious seals will appear near the boat, undoubtedly wondering who you are and what are you doing. Or perhaps head to Scolt Head, an island of sand and marram grass, a place of isolation in the winter, quiet reflection and nature. You can charter the boat for a unique bird watching trip or perhaps a fishing experience, alternatively just take time to relax on the ebb and flow of the tide.
