Sailing on a Barge for Two

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.

Fantastic day out on the water in a boat built to sail and sail we did for the majority of the trip. We were blessed with ideal weather conditions for the day out, so much so we eat our salad lunch sat on the deck watching the scenery go past. Would we do it again? Absolutely

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.
