Great trip along the coast! - After waiting a long time to be given permission to leave the port, the trip was great! Lots of interesting and intriguing info was told along the way, with frequent stops for photos and points of interest. A couple of people did swim off the boat. Comfortable and pristine boat, as well as a considerate captain! Highly recommended.

Fast, fun, and lots of laughs - Absolutely f**king awesome!! Best afternoon out with captain Steve in the rapid rib. Rapid it really is!!! My ten year old niece had a fantastic time. She loved the speed and wanted to go faster at what felt like 60+ knots already, while doing doughnuts and flying through the water. We didn’t go on lady Maverick with Sarah as according to the 10yr old, who wants to go slow!! However as we went out with boat boats for our party we did have the opportunity to swop boats to experience both if we wanted what was a great touch. Time went far too quickly where we were having such a great time. Will definitely be going again. Thanks for an epic time

The Seven Sisters were an experience - The Seven Sisters were impressive. Of course, we were also lucky with the weather. Great experience by motorboat. Sarah our helmswoman was very friendly and gave us lots of interesting information. We also saw 2 seals DA Sarah knows the places where they mostly stay. I am very glad that I did this trip with my family.

Wow, just WOW - As the title suggests, wow! From the “meet and greet” to the friendly wave bye bye, Paul, our skipper was incredible Safely kitted out with life jackets, we effortlessly left the quay listening to a prerecorded message, all about smugglers and the Seven Sisters, with all the necessary safety messages woven into the story, explaining that whatever happens, you are 100% safe at all times, reassuring to us who had never been on a boat, but went with friends who’d been before and were keen to go out with Maverick again. As if by magic, we reached the harbour entrance just as the message finished, a quick look around from Paul, with a cheery “hold onto your hats” we were off! How do you explain flying, but on water? The Sun was shining, the sky was azure blue, mirror matching the slightly choppy sea and we were racing across it, the Kittiwakes in the sky wheeling above our heads, the spray from the bows, arcing out either side of us, looking like crystal in the sunshine! Sounds all a bit “arty farty” but it’s hard to explain just how magical it is to feel absolutely 100% safe and secure, be sat in comfort, and be gliding along, the majesty of the world famous Seven Sisters looming in front of you, the wind on your face, and the hiss of the Sea and the boat effortlessly pushes you across the bay. All through the tour, Paul explains things you see in depth. Just why are the Seven Sisters white? Why are they there? Why are the Kittiwakes nesting? What’s the friendly seal who “popped up” to say hello name? Who owns this? That? Why are the horses on the downs now? All too soon your gliding back into the Port of Newhaven, amazed as to how much time has passed so quickly, and just how exhilarating, exciting and interesting the adventure has been Our Country is beautiful, but at its best when your taken in luxury and comfort at speed to the best bits and treated to local knowledge by a man who clearly loves his job, loves sharing his passion with his guests, a man who’s boatman ship is instinctive and reassuring and who cares that his clients have the best possible trip. We don’t own a boat and were a tiny bit hesitant, but so delighted we took the opportunity and “bit the bullet” our friends were right If your going to enjoy an adventure on the water, book Maverick Boat Adventures

Spectacular, go go go! - Absolutely fantastic! The guide Sarah told us lots of interesting local information and stories and kept us thoroughly entertained. The boat ride was thrilling and invigorating with some welcome stops in sunspots to enjoy the view and try to see Stephen the seal but sadly he was elsewhere. The Seven Sisters were spectacular and the ride back was lovely with some funky music giving us chilled Ibiza vibes. LOVED IT!
