Schools out for Easter- if you’re looking for activities to entertain your little ones over the next fortnight then look no further.

This Easter we will be running our 45 minute City Dock Tours every day. Tickets for these sailings go on sale 48 hours prior to departure.

The tides have also aligned with the break and we have a few Avon Gorge cruises running across next week. It’s really such a lovely time of year to take in the Gorge as nature begins to present the first signs of spring!

And for those of you with a sweet tooth we have Cream Tea Cruises running on Easter Monday, and every Wednesday and Sunday. Our legendary homemade scones are not to be missed.
