Swanage to Poole Boat Trip - City Cruises Poole - Jurassic Coast Boat Tour
We enjoy a boat trip along the Jurassic Coast from Swanage to Poole with City Cruises Poole.
It was a glorious day, bright blue skies, clear air and beautiful sunshine.
The trip took us past Ballard Down and along the Jurassic cliffs before passing the famous Old Harry Rocks formation, through the Sandbanks Chain Ferry and into the beautiful natural harbour of Poole, finally docking at Poole Quay.
The boat trip lasted an hour and we had time ashore in Poole to explore before getting our return trip back.
Our tickets cost £13.50 per adult return and is well worth it. The trip is a nice length, there is a bar on board serving hot and cold drinks and the commentary very informative, and if you get nice weather it's definitely a plus :)

Poole Town in May 15th 2019, areas around Poole, Dorset, England. ( 1 )
I started work in Poole over 45 years ago and I have seen many changes around the town. I saw what was then the Arndale Centre ( now known as the Dolphin Centre ) being built. The quay is one of the most beautiful places to visit. Poole Harbour is one of the largest natural harbours in the world and Brownsea island being within this harbour is now the home of the thriving red Squirrel population and the home of Boy Scout movement in England. The Poole Harbour area has been inhabited for at least 2,500 years. During the Iron Age, Celtic people known as the Durotriges lived in Dorset, particularly around Wareham, five miles ( eight km ) to the west. In the 3rd century BC, these Celtic people moved from hilltop settlements, such as Maiden Castle and Badbury Rings on the chalk downs to the north, to the lower vales and heathland around the River Frome and Poole Harbour. This marshy area may have lent its name to the Durotriges, which means water dwellers. The Durotriges engaged in cross-channel trading at Poole with the Veneti, a seafaring tribe from Brittany. The earliest significant archaeological find in the harbour is the Poole Longboat, a 10 metres ( 33 ft ) boat made from a single oak tree and dating to 295 BC. During that time, the harbour was shallower than it is today and any settlement would now be under water.
Poole Quay is a visitor attraction to the south of the town centre lined with a mixture of traditional public houses, new bars, redeveloped warehouses, modern apartment blocks and historic listed buildings. Once the busy centre of Poole's maritime industry, all port activities moved to Hamworthy in the 1970’s as the Quay became increasingly popular with tourists. The Grade II listed Customs House on the quay-front was built in 1814 and now functions as a restaurant and bar. Nearby the Grade I listed Town Cellars, a medieval warehouse built in the 15th century on the foundations of a 14th century stone building, houses a local history centre. Scaplen's Court, another Grade I listed building, also dates from the medieval era. Poole Pottery has been redeveloped into an apartment block. Boats regularly depart from the quay during the summer and provide cruises around the harbour and to Brownsea Island, the River Frome and Swanage. Public artworks along the Quay include Sea Music – a large metal sculpture designed by Sir Anthony Caro, and a life-size bronze sculpture of Robert Baden-Powell created to celebrate the founding of the Scout Movement on Brownsea Island. At the western end of the quay near the mouth of Holes Bay is Poole Bridge. Built in 1927, it is the third bridge to be located on the site since 1834.
Poole swing bridge was out of use for many months during 2016 and 2017, it was closed for repairs. This bridge is a lifting bridge that operates during the day to allow boats passing through into the many moorings available in Poole Harbour.
Poole Park is an urban park adjacent to Poole Harbour in Poole, Dorset, England. The park was opened during the Victorian era and has remained popular with visitors ever since. It is open all year round and hosts a number of events.
There are 3 free car parks in the park:
next to The Kitchen (around 40 spaces, up to 2 hours stay)
near the small roundabout between Rockley Watersports and The Ark (around 30 spaces, up to 3 hours stay)
next to The Ark (around 60 spaces, up to 3 hours stay)
COASTLINE CRUISES DORSET
A wartime lady that is still working after 70 years. The passenger ferry 'My Girl' that operates out of Weymouth in Dorset will whisk you to Portland in 40 minutes.
A different and brilliant way of getting there.
The boat worked on wartime duties from 1939 until 1945 and has been given a special award from the Royal Artillary Association.

BOAT TRIP TO POOLE HARBOUR, DURDLE DOOR & LULWORTH COVE, WAKEBOARDING
Hi Everyone! This is a little video of the bank-holiday trip I took with 4 friends to visit Dorset - you might have seen it on my Instastories! This is the first time I've gone this far west via sea!
If you enjoyed it don't forget to subscribe to join in with our next adventures, I can't wait to share more with you :) All love xx
Leaving early Saturday morning from Langstone Harbour, Hayling Island, on our friend's speed boat (A Searay for those who are interested), we motored past Portsmouth and then crossed the Solent over to Yarmouth, Ilse Of Wight, to refuel at the marina. We then made our way through the beautiful morning light past the Needles and on towards Poole.
It took us around 2 hours to get to Old Harry's Rocks (at the entrance to Poole Harbour). As there was no wind the water was incredibly flat, which meant perfect wake boarding conditions for us!
After a superb session (although the water was freezing as it is after all still May in the UK) we carried on into Poole Harbour and up to Cobbs Quay to refuel again - ready for more exploring!
We then gently motored up Wareham River, which is gorgeous in every sense of the word. I felt like I'd been transported into Africa with the thick sun-burnt reed banks and wildlife such as stalks and herons jumping out from the gently curving river banks on either side. But I'd recommend taking great care navigating up here as the river is very narrow and shallow (our depth-sounder was beeping nearly the entire way, meaning less than 3 ft). But... absolutely worth it as at the very top of the river there are 2 very picturesque pubs. We moored up on the quay side wall here and had a very delicious lunch at a pub fittingly called the Quay Inn.
We took our time leaving the pub as having been in the baking sun all day it was a welcome break to be in the shade. By the time we finally birthed at Poole Harbour Marina for our first night it was already 7pm. We quickly showered off the salt and sun-cream from the day in the very decent marina facilities, and we met friends in the near by Slug and Lettuce for some cool drinks, before settling down in our soft bunks at about midnight. It's amazing how much you can fit into a day when you leave at 5.30am!
The following day we had a large full English breakfast at the cafe just opposite the marina entrance and picked up picnic food from the little Tescos just next door to take with us for the day. We then left to explore the Jurassic Coast at about 10.30am.
It took 2 hours following the stunning white cliff coast line before we reached the famous Durdle Door. Being the bank holiday it was packed with holidaymakers and we were very glad to be arriving in our own time by boat and not walking along the steep cliff top path to access the beach by land. When we arrived we were the only boat there, but soon a few others came along for us to make friends with and some jet skies too. Here we paddled our little blow up dingy, snorkelled in the clear waters and basked in the sunshine.
Leaving in the late afternoon we headed back East to Lulworth Cove and chugged into the peaceful but busy beautiful anchorage to eat our picnic lunch. We also paddled to shore (rather precariously with all 4 of us in our little blow up dingy - lets just say my bum did not remain dry!) and got refreshing ice creams in the very quaint Lulworth Village before returning to Poole Marina at 9.30pm. After showering it was too late for restaurants to still be serving food, so we simply ordered a Domino's Pizza to be delivered to the boat! A perfect end to the 2nd day!
On Monday morning we fulled up again ready for our journey home. We took the same route back via Yarmouth and this time ended our fantastic trip at our sailing club in Chichester Harbour.
The weather topped 28.7C (83.6F) making it the hottest May bank holiday on record!
