Sailing the Shipping Forecast (2025)

Sailing the Shipping Forecast will take viewers on a voyage from bustling waterways to remote, isolated communities reliant on the sea to survive. On the way they'll discover the natural beauty of estuaries, oceans, channels and coastlines.Led by Rev. Coles across four of the 31 areas mapped out by the shipping forecast, the broadcaster and writer will take us on a journey to meet some of the people and communities living and working in these regions. Featuring the Faeroes, Lundy, Thames and Wight we will see what life is like at sea, and how an ecosystem ashore is sustained by the rich life around the waters of Britain and its neighbouring countries.
