There will also be an extra charge of £20.00 to drop off any passengers in Queenborough Harbour on one of the pontoons & we only get 3 hours maximum per stay but we can only stay for 1 hour as we have to get back for the tide in Leigh On Sea.

About:

Hop over to the North Kent shores, where the River Thames, Medway and Swale meet. Queenborough is a place overflowing with rich history, undiscovered stories, famous faces, friendly cafes, award-winning micro-pubs and mouth-watering local food and drink. Queenborough Harbour is more than just an ideal cruising base. Great for a quick pint & bite to eat then back to Essex.

Join me, Angus the skipper and our beautiful boat “Starfish”(9 seats) for a memorable day on the river.

More info:

Hopefully we will get to see some wildlife (ie: seals & birds) & big container ships out at sea.

We have a small toilet on board Starfish. We kindly ask that you go before we depart if possible.
