Our public trips are on Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays at 12 noon and 2.00pm. We also run special themed trips throughout the boating season and private charter trips (see the relevant pages)

   

COVID 19

Our trips will be subject to covid-safe measures in accordance with government rules and guidance. For the time being capacity will be limited to a maximum of 25 passengers. This will be kept under review.
