Please let us know if there are any special dietary requirements.  All prices on application to the booking office.

You can book our boats for your wedding reception.  Victoria is the perfect transport from Ulting Church.   We would be pleased to discuss your requirements.

Victoria and Blackwater Dawn are fully equipped to accommodate wheelchair users, but we would be grateful to have as much notice as possible as to the number of wheelchairs likely so that we can prepare appropriate seating arrangements for you to enjoy your trip.  

Victoria and Albert do not cruise when the Navigation is in flood, as the boats cannot then pass under bridges.  Should this occur Victoria or Albert may be used as a static venue at Paper Mill Lock at 50% of the trip cost.  Alternatively a full refund will be offered.  It is more unusual for the Navigation to be in flood at Heybridge Basin, but should this occur, the same terms apply for Blackwater Dawn.
