Enjoying the Sail.

Day Charters

Charters begin at Brightlingsea Essex. Passengers are collected by launch and taken out to the barge anchored in the River Colne, often in the Pyefleet Channel.

After tea and coffee you will be shown the ropes (if desired), hoist the anchor and set the sails. If preferred you can be sure to find peace in watching and relaxing on the spacious deck.

We will then sail out of the Colne River and into the outstanding beauty of the Blackwater Estuary - be sure to bring a camera! You then have all day to soak up the experience (and the sun (hopefully!)) of sailing an 80ft traditional Thames Sailing Barge.

We often anchor for lunch and endeavour into a two course homemade buffet and chilled sociable chat round the large oak dining table. 

As Edme is without an engine, we work with wind and tides so start and finish times vary.
