The Yorkshire Belle is a historic pleasure cruiser that was built in 1947. It has been a mainstay of Bridlington Harbour for many years and is a summer highlight for both residents and visitors alike.
The boat first started doing seabird cruises in 1982, and ever since they have remained incredibly popular.
The cruises offer passengers a chance to watch the beautiful migratory birds nesting on the cliffs from a whole new angle. The Yorkshire Belle and the RSPB work very closely together on these special tours, organising trips to view breeding seabirds such as puffins, gannets, kittiwakes and guillemots. Lucky passengers can sometimes catch a glimpse of dolphins on the tours as well, with the friendly creatures visiting the boats from time to time.
