Sea Shanty Fish & Chips Trip

Sail around Bristol's historic Floating Harbour on a Fish & Chips Trip with live musical accompaniment from one of our resident Sea Shanty groups.

Setting off from our Princes Wharf mooring, you’ll enjoy a leisurely sail on this round trip around the harbour between Prince Street Bridge and The Pumphouse/Junction Lock. The sea shanty crew will entertain you whilst we are sailing.

Fresh fish and chips from our local caterers are delivered to you on deck when we moor up at The Pumphouse Landing (about 45 minutes into the trip).

We can only offer a limited number of these trips each year, so early booking is highly recommended!
