£400.00
Book exclusive hire of Betsie Jane for up to 8 people for a one-and-a-half-hour cruise of the upper reaches of the River Hamble.
The price includes a professional Skipper and Mate to take care of you throughout your cruise, a Mermaids Afternoon Tea served on vintage crockery, tea & coffee, soft drinks and up to three bottles of Prosecco.
Please note that due to the nature of the boat drinks are strictly limited to three bottles of Prosecco per trip and there is no option to bring or buy any additional or alternative alcoholic drinks. We are only able to accept children aged ten and over on Betsie Jane and children must sit down during the cruise. As a historic ship, we ask all participants to respect the nature of Betsie Jane by wearing flat shoes to protect the deck, refraining from shouting at other water users, dressing in keeping with the vessel (no fancy dress or novelty hats) and avoiding bringing any items such as balloons, confetti, banners etc that might come loose from the vessel and end up polluting the river.
All cruises start and finish from Universal Marina in Sarisbury Green, where parking is available.
Betsie Jane is a completely open boat, so we don’t run in weather conditions which might mean that you’ll get rained on or your food will be blown away! In the event the trip is unable to run due to weather we’ll contact you with as much notice as we can and work with you to find a suitable alternative date to reschedule your trip. If you are unable to find a suitable alternative date we will also offer the option of a full refund.
We are able to cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten or dairy free diets on board Betsie Jane, we just ask that we are notified of any special dietary requirements at least one week prior to your trip.
We accept well behaved children aged 10 and over on our cruises if accompanied by a parent or guardian. There is no upper age limit, but participants will need to walk down a marina ramp and along pontoons to get to the boat. There are also two steep steps to get onto the boat and unfortunately Betsie Jane is not adapted to take wheelchairs aboard. If you would like to discuss mobility requirements for a trip aboard Betsie Jane please do not hesitate to contact us to discuss this further.
