Boat Trips at Evesham

 

Boat Trips times:

May – September       Saturdays and Sundays      1pm and 3pm 

August (School holidays)   Thurs / Fri / Sat / Sun 1pm and 3pm 

COST = £6 per person (under 3 year olds free)

All trips are weather and river levels permitting, and we do not run when other events are taking place like the rowing regatta and the fishing festival. 

100% of this goes to the charity as all boat trips are run by volunteers. 12 passengers per trip. 

DOGS – well behaved dogs are welcome

HOW IT WORKS  – spaces are limited, so it operates on a ‘pay on the day’, ‘first come first served’ basis. Corsair will arrive onsite at 12noon on the day of the boat trips (weather, river levels and other events permitting). Tickets can be purchased on the day, from 12 noon onwards, for both the 1pm trip and the 3pm trip. So you cannot ‘book in advance’, but to secure your place, you can come on the day, and purchase a place from 12 noon onwards. Tickets on sale, on the day, from the ANT barge Neptune, that is moored close to the Boat Trip departure point, ABBEY Boating Moorings, Abbey Park. 

 

ABOUT 

Getting people onto the water, promoting the huge benefits of our beautiful natural environment has always been key to Avon Navigation Trust’s (ANT) activities. ANT also needs to raise funds so it can continue its good work. Running passenger vessels ticks all the boxes – great for ANT and great for everyone to experience being on the river and build memories.

In 2023 ANT acquired CORSAIR, a 12 seater luxury passenger vessel. Corsair was previously known as ‘Frederick’ and is no stranger to running trips on the Avon.

Weekends through the summer CORSAIR will be running from Abbey Park in Evesham. ANT have been working with Wychavon District Council and Evesham Town Council to develop the Evesham Lock House into a training venue and ‘bring boating back to Evesham’ to offer more pleasure to the public of the beautiful river frontage. CORSAIR does exactly this. Running the trip boat is made possible by using dedicated and skilled ANT volunteers as the team that operates CORSAIR

BOAT TRIP TIMES :   

1pm boat trip and

3pm boat trip

AUGUST (school holidays) Thursday / Friday / Saturday / Sunday 1pm trip and  3pm trip (more on demand)

The River Trips are c40 minutes and cost just £6 per person. This is for all ages, as the licence is limited to 12 passengers.  (under 3 year olds go free) 

 

CHARTER CORSAIR

You can also charter CORSIAR. She is perfect for a cruise along the river, with family, friends or work colleagues. All funds go direct to the Avon Navigation Trust to contribute towards administering, maintaining and improving the River Avon . Please contact us with your specific requirements and we will endeavour to accommodate your party. This is all fund raising for the Trust and run by volunteers. See below for full price list.

 

 

CHARTER Wheelchair accessible ‘Wheely boat’

ANT also has a wheelchair accessible Wheelyboat that can be chartered as above to help make cruising the Avon accessible for all. For example, if you have a family member who could not normally access the river or boating activities then the new ANT Wheelyboat programme can help. The boat can be chartered with a skipper.
