Booking a trip on Terror is easy

A memorable trip on board Terror lasts for around two and a half hours, visiting the most beautiful parts of Emsworth Harbour. The little inlets that wind right down to Langstone and out in the channel leading to the Solent. The hustle of other boats and the serenity of the wildlife. It’s mesmerising.

And what’s more, every penny of your booking fee goes towards preserving Terror for the benefit of future generations – Oyster Boat Terror is a non-profit making venture, run entirely by volunteers from the charity Friends of Chichester Harbour.
