Conwy Boat Trips runs half-hour sightseeing cruises up the Conwy estuary from the working quay beneath the castle walls, skippered by Dean, who also offers dedicated fishing trips and wildlife safaris along the same stretch of water. Passengers on the wildlife trips regularly see grey seals hauled out on the sandbanks and a range of seabirds, with views back toward the geology of the Great Orme; fishing trips have produced good catches of pollock and wrasse on the drift. Sailings run seasonally from February to October and depend on the tide, so trips are booked directly by phone or through the operator's Facebook page and online booking calendar rather than a conventional website. The business is run from a single boat by one skipper rather than as part of a larger tour operator, and reviews consistently describe it as a family-run outfit rooted in the Conwy quayside community.
