Now on Apple Watch — plus The Talking Harbour, narrated story walks by George, Places to Eat with mini-maps and favourites, and tide-aware Coast Secrets.

SAILINGS & BOOKING
Browse the live sailings timetable for Amble harbour, book your boat trip in seconds with secure in-app checkout, and keep your boarding passes ready in Apple Wallet. Crew scan your QR ticket straight from your phone.
CREW MEMBERSHIP
Become a Puffin Crew Member and enjoy 12 boat trip credits a year, 10% off in the shop, and your own QR member pass — all managed in the app. Your pass is scanned by crew on boarding, so there's nothing to carry.
THE TALKING HARBOUR
Let local storyteller George walk the harbour with you. Four beautifully narrated tales — the lifeboat crews, Amble's coaling days, Coquet Island's puffins and Warkworth Castle — play automatically, with a gentle haptic, as you pass each spot on the harbour walk. All four stories are built into the app, so they work fully offline, and playback keeps going with the screen off.
PLACES TO EAT
Crew-picked pubs, cafés and chippies around the harbour. Browse with photos and blurbs, see each place on a mini-map relative to Amble Harbour with an approximate walk time, get one-tap walking directions, call or visit their website — and tap the heart to keep your favourites handy.
COAST SECRETS
Tide-aware tips that tell you when Little Shore's rock pools are brimming, when the sands stretch all the way to Warkworth, and when the curlews gather on the flats — with optional low-water alerts the moment conditions turn perfect. Join the Golden Hour Club for tonight's sunset time, a daily best photo spot, and an alert 40 minutes before golden hour.
NEVER MISS THE TIDE
Live tide times for Amble show high and low water at a glance, with a rising/falling indicator so you always know what the sea is doing — on your iPhone and on your wrist.
TRACK THE BOAT LIVE
See exactly where the boat is on the water in real time, with speed, heading and distance from the pier — perfect for meeting friends and family back at the harbour. Crew can quietly pause the tracker during quiet sailings.
EXPLORE AMBLE
Follow the self-guided harbour walk with step-by-step directions, tick off wildlife sightings in the spotter — puffins, seals, dolphins and more — and peek at live harbour cameras before you set off.
APPLE WATCH
Puffin Cruises now sails on your wrist. The brand-new Watch app puts the next sailing on screen with a live countdown, shows live tide times for Amble with a 24-hour sea-level curve, tide momentum, tonight's golden hour, the boat tracker, Places to Eat, the harbour walk and the wildlife spotter — with rank progress from Beachcomber to Puffin Legend. Next Sailing and Next Tide complications keep the harbour one glance away on your watch face.
Guests can also share photos to the gallery and receive push notifications about sailings and harbour news.

Ahoy! Puffin Cruises has come to Apple Watch:
• Watch app — the next sailing countdown, live tide times with a 24-hour tide curve, tonight's golden hour, the boat tracker, Places to Eat, the harbour walk and the wildlife spotter, all on your wrist.
• Two watch-face complications — Next Sailing (with a live countdown) and Next Tide — so the harbour is always one glance away.
• Wildlife spotter ranks on Watch — climb from Beachcomber to Puffin Legend.
• Tide momentum — see whether the sea is rising or ebbing and how long to the next high or low water.
• On iPhone: fixes to the full-schedule link on Home, and crew can now pause live boat tracking for private charters.
