Welcome

Our sales area is located on Quayside and boats depart from Jesus Green. Check in for bookings takes place on the Jesus Green.

The Quayside is situated close to a bus stop on Bridge Street, 0.5 miles from the central bus station on Drummer Street and 1.8 miles from the Train Station.

The approach to both of these areas is across fully paved and level streets. The walk to the boats is across a wooden boardwalk (with an anti-slip surface) and is approximately two minutes in length.

Both our boats and sales area can be also be approached by car or taxi (via Thomspon's Lane for the boats and Bridge Street for the ticket desk. The nearest car parking facilities are on Park Street.
