Since 2020 we have provided excursions to Flatholm Island leaving from Penarth for all to enjoy. Our newly refurbished bright red ship is the only ship. We departs from the Penarth boat landing and pass through one of three locks of the Cardiff Bay Barrage next to the Bristol Channel, sailing farther than any other tour operator, past Penarth Pier and toward Flatholm Island where you can spend the day.

These exciting, fun, and educational Penarth Boat Trips are available every weekend March to the end of October and every day during school holidays, if weather is favorable. Special groups/tour rates for private gatherings are available for groups of 20 or more; a group of more than 20 is eligible for up to a 10% discount.

This purpose built ship, is the only passenger boat that can carry groups to Flatholm Island and is pet-friendly, with comfortable accommodations for adults and children.

A family outing, a day with friends, a group of tourists experiencing Europe’s largest waterfront development, or local visitors exploring the Cardiff/Penarth area, Penarth Boat Trips provide a 45 minute sightseeing boat trips for all to enjoy. This bright red ship is the only ship with scenic views from our Top Deck when compared to all the tourist carriers operating in the Bay; it departs from historic Mermaid Quay and passes the Cardiff Bay Barrage for a tour of Cardiff.

During a Penarth boat trip, passengers enjoy a cup of tea or coffee and a snack while listening to the onboard commentary providing historical and educational information on the sights. As a memento of the occasion, have a picture taken onboard and bring a camera to record the spectacular Cardiff waterfront as seen from the top deck and many of the sights along the way, such as, the Senedd, BBC Wales studios, Norwegian Church, Wales Millennium Centre, Cardiff Devils Ice Hockey and the St David’s Hotel.
