We are based at Itchenor on Chichester Harbour. This is a beautiful part of the county of West Sussex and probably the best place to take a Harbour tour if you are looking for wild life, peace and quiet, with a colourful display of yachts and racing dinghies thrown in for extra excitement. There is a fleet of traditional keel boats that race from Itchenor sailing club twice a week along with state of the art sailing dinghies racing every day during the summer months.
We have a growing seal population of around 50 common and grey seals, resident and migrant wading birds, most of the British sea birds inhabit the harbour plus the invasion of Brent geese in the winter with the passing through of ospreys during April and September.
Our season for Harbour tours starts at the beginning of April until the end of October. Fishing runs from mid march to mid December and seal watching is April to October.
