Bay Island Voyages

About

Bay Island Voyages is Cardiff’s premier boat‑tour operator, offering a fascinating mix of short and extended excursions around the iconic Cardiff Bay and beyond. From a quick 15‑minute loop of the quays to a full 1½‑hour coastal voyage that visits the historic islands of Flat Holm and Steep Holm, every trip showcases the natural beauty, wildlife and history of the Bristol Channel. All journeys depart from the vibrant Mermaid Quay, the departure point that puts you right on the edge of the city’s waterfront. Whether you’re after a relaxed sightseeing cruise, a hop‑scotch birthday party, a stag‑and‑hen outing, or a private charter for up to 12 people, Bay Island Voyages has a package to suit every traveller’s taste and budget. Safety is the company’s top priority. Each of the two 9‑metre RIBs is crewed by certified former Royal National Lifeboat Service members and operates under strict Maritime and Coastguard Agency regulations, equipped with duplicate outboards, VHF/DSC radios, bilge pumps and liferafts. Passengers receive a full safety briefing and are provided life jackets for the duration of the trip. Booking is simple – you can secure a seat online or call 07393 470476 to arrange a trip. For busy periods or special requests, it is recommended to book in advance to guarantee availability.
