A pleasant and brief (25 minutes) way to get out on the water for a different viewpoint on Whitby. Friendly and professional staff. Reasonable prices.

This is a really interesting experience. Go out beyond the harbour on a 40 percent reduced size boat based on the original ship Endeavour. It was made by local craftsmen and is a trip not to be missed especially as it is only 3.50 for the journey. It was somewhat choppy when we went out which made me think off how they traveled the oceans in these things and how bad it must have been. Whitby looks so different from the sea and the cliffs from the harbour to the Spa look like a crocodile. No. Really. I didn't believe it till I saw it.
Stayed in Whitby 6th Sept & Really wanted to go on a boat in Whitby and we kept putting it off. But this time boyfriend promised to take me on one. There was a few boat tours along the harbour so whilst eating some ice cream a gent at bark endeavour stand mentioned ”isn’t it about time you take your lady on a lovely boat ride.” it’s like this gent knew jacks promise to me to take a boat trip. Plus the boat was so nice I felt like we chose the better boat ride. It’s the last boat tour facing the amusement arcade. Really nice staff. We came back 10 minutes later to get the next trip. Really good experience, with an antenna stating the history of the endeavour even though the boat we was on, was a smaller replica to the main endeavour. The antenna also played some sea chants. I still have the chant of “stormy olde weather” still playing in my head when I think of Whitby. i Don’t have any kids but with the kids that was already on the boat you could tell they enjoyed the ride Especially with the boat going over the waves . I’ve uploaded some videos and pictures. The Reviewer IanWestYorks who has given The Bark Endeavour a 1 scoring has got confused with the other Endeavour boat that holds the orlop cafe/restaurant just of the Endeavour Wharf Car Park. It was the first Endeavour boat we saw too, when parking in this car park. Which this review is NOT for the Endeavour Orlop Cafe/Restaurant it’s for the actual boat trip. However for the Bark Endeavour boat ride, you have to walk passed Bridge st upto the pleasureland amusements which the stand for Bark Endeavour boat trip is to your right.
Really fun short tour. This 40% scale reproduction of the Endeavour is built much like the real thing with the major difference being the diesel marine engines. The tour is well priced and competitive with the others in the harbour. A relatively brief history of Captain Cook is given by recording played on the tour with some sea shanties thrown in for good measure. The Bark Endeavour bobs up and down plenty giving a good feeling of being at sea.
Very pleasing boat ride and fair prices. Small boat on the ocean can be a bit choppy but entertaining nonetheless.
