About

A lovely day out for couples/families/groups etc. Enjoy the stunning panoramic scenery along the River Colne to the picturesque riverside village of Wivenhoe on Colne Innovation, our electric boat. The trip from Brightlingsea to Wivenhoe takes 1 hour then spend 2 hours at Wivenhoe. Enjoying lunch at The Black Buoy with some time to explore before returning to Brightlingsea. With its narrow streets and quaint buildings, Wivenhoe makes a great day out. It has been home to many famous people including Joan Hickson who played Miss Marple. Numerous artists and journalists have and do live here, giving the town its flamboyant, artistic atmosphere.

Right on the banks of the River Colne, the town's history centres on fishing, ship building and smuggling. Included in the price is a delicious main meal at the renowned Black Buoy Inn which is steeped in maritime history.

Brightlingsea Harbour is a hidden gem just 10 miles from the City of Colchester.  It is an historic Cinque Port rich in heritage but also a fun and exciting place to explore no matter what your age is. Whether it be going on one of our boat trips, to an afternoon crabbing, a day at the Lido or visiting the interactive local museum or perhaps taking a stroll  along the beach enjoying  the stunning views. 

Your four legged friends are welcome too on all our boat trips.
