What Can I Expect

All aboard for the Dorset Queen fish and chips cruise! Set sail from Poole Harbour for a late lunch onboard this beautifully restored vintage motor yacht for a lovely afternoon cruise.

Dorset Queen was built in 1938 and, after being fully restored, she now offers wonderful passenger trips and cruises around Poole Bay and along the stunning Jurassic coastline beyond.

Your relaxed and convivial fish and chips cruise departs at 13:30 and returns at 15:30. That means you have plenty of time to chill out on the forward deck, take in the panoramic views from the upper deck and enjoy the onboard hospitality.

And that hospitality starts in the best way possible with a welcome drink as you board this vintage launch. The crew will then come around to serve you your fish and chip lunch, sourced from a local chip shop.

Everyone knows fish and chips taste better at the seaside, so imagine how good they’re going to be on a boat with the sea and the gently lapping waves all around you!

During your afternoon cruise, the onboard bar in the main saloon will be open for purchasing drinks and you will also enjoy live commentary from your captain who will point out all the landmarks - from Millionaire’s Row at Sandbanks to cruising past the Royal Motor Yacht Club, you’ll see it all.

Passenger numbers for these fish and chips cruises onboard Dorset Queen are limited to 35 per trip, to ensure excellent onboard service for all guests, so make sure you book soon!
