Sailing on a Barge for Two

We had a great day on the river at Ipswich and would recommend this trip. the crew were excellent - knowledgeable and enthusiastic without overwhelming with too much information. The food provided was great, and impressive given the facilities available to prepare it!

Lovely trip down the River Orwell on Thistle. The skipper was informative pointing out many other Thames barges that were moored on the river in readiness for forthcoming races. We were served a very good ploughmans lunch and the drinks were reasonable prices from the bar. Staff and crew friendly and helpful.

This trip was a Christmas present from our daughter. It was lovely, we didn't know we were even moving on the water, very nice food too, it helped that it was a lovely sunny day. The Captain gave us snippets of info which was interesting too.

Having been give the voucher as a gift a sail on a Thames barge was the obvious choice for me. All the crew, skipper, mate and galley, were lovely, helpful, informative and caring. This is great way to look at this beautiful stretch of the Essex coast line, Maldon to Osea island. Do remember you are "at sea" so appropriate clothing is essential, blankets are provided but it never ceases to amaze me what some folk choose to ware!!!!!!! A great day out and one I would do again.
