Boat Trips

The Viking Saga departs from the sea wall between Promenade Park and The Hythe for 40 minute excursions out past Heybridge Basin towards Osea Island and then back in the opposite direction. Longer trips are also available.

All trips will have no more than 12 passengers plus the crew. The Trust is a registered charity and all income raised is used to keep its two barges sailing.
Essex Waterways run one hour trips along the Chelmer & Blackwater Navigation from Heybridge Basin.

Topsail Charters operate sailing barge trips from Maldon's Hythe Quay
