The Glass Bottom Boat

Seaprobe Atlantis started their boat trips in 1998, then developed the idea with their newer boat in 2004, the incredible glass bottom boat!

This was a very challenging job for both naval architects and the boat builders, being the first ever class IV semi-submersible passenger boat in the UK. It gave everyone a considerable challenge to bring it all together!

Considerable thought went into the safety aspects of the boat, the designs were approved, and now the boat has functioned for many years allowing for incredible marine wildlife interaction!

Yes, children love the trips and are always most welcome onboard. There is nothing the Seaprobe staff like more than to hear the enthusiastic and excited voices of children in the underwater viewing gallery. Seaprobe Atlantis has high guard rails all around keeping your children safe and of course we carry all the statutory safety equipment but you are still encouraged to keep an eye on your children at all times.

We are able to get wheelchairs down the pontoon ramp and alongside the boat. If you are able to take a few assisted steps to board the boat, the wheelchair can then be carried on board. There is no wheelchair access to the underwater viewing gallery.

Dogs are welcome on board but not downstairs in the underwater viewing gallery so you just need to take turns looking after your dog at points of underwater viewing interest.
