We caught up with Helen Bull from Coastal Cruises in Poole, to find out more about their company and exhibiting at the British Tourism & Travel Show.
Tell us a bit about your organisation:
Coastal Cruises Poole Ltd was founded in October 2024 when our Director, Carol Scott, bought the company from City Cruises Poole. Same boats, trips and crew, just a new owner! Our boats cruise around Poole Harbour and from the Spring also sail to the beautiful Victorian seaside town of Swanage. Amazing trips that show off this stunning part of the Dorset coastline from a different angle including showing off the start of the UNESCO World Heritage Sight of the Jurassic Coast. You may even get to see our local dolphins!
As well as a boat trip, we also offer our popular Seatrain Adventure that includes a train ride on the iconic Swanage Railway with it’s Heritage Steam and Diesel trains. Our boats can accommodate upto 150 passengers and all have a licensed bar and toilets onboard. Each trip is enhanced with a live Captain’s commentary which is both educational and often very humorous! During the summer holidays, we also offer an evening Harbour Lights Cruise and a Fish and Chip Cruise so that passengers can see the sunset over the water. Definitely a must do when in Dorset!
Tell us what your visitors can see on your stand:
Come and discuss the discounts we can offer to groups over 20 people and also the stunning trips we can offer including our Harbour & Islands Cruise, Jurassic Cruise, Poole to Swanage Sightseeing, Seatrain Adventure, Harbour Lights Cruise and Fish and Chip Cruise. We are also very popular for private charters.
Opportunities to become a Trade Partner as well to receive even more discounts depending on regularity of bookings. We are always open to discussing Familiarisation trips as well to help promote both your and our business to potential buyers.
Why is exhibiting at the British Tourism & Travel Show an unmissable opportunity for you?
BTTS is well known as one of the best trade shows to exhibit at to meet a wide range of coach, travel and group organisers. We are proud to be on the Visit Dorset Stand and look forward to meeting with guests who are open to learning more about Dorset and the wonderful attractions we have to offer any group.
