We also run bespoke themed trips for schools in line with their curriculum.  Please contact one of our team to discuss your requirements.

Lovely people who made the Santa trip so special for everyone. So glad to be able to support this charity and its work with ill and disabled children.

Lovely. Went to see Father Christmas yesterday. My boys loved it. Great price and even better as it's for charity. Would recommend this and hope they do it again next year

Absolutely wonderful experience on board today! My 3 old daughter loved it, she enjoyed making crafts, getting of the boat to watch the water, and even had a biscuit and drink. Couldn’t thank the volunteers enough for the amount of effort they put into making sure the morning went well. Definitely recommend it to everyone of all ages.

Tickets for our events can be purchased through this website.  Please choose the trip and time you'd like and pay via our secure online payment portal.

** Once purchased, please check your junk email folder - sometimes Order Confirmations end up there! **
