An historic vessel, built in 1898, sb Wyvenhoe is one the 30 or so survivors from a fleet that numbered thousands of ships only a century ago. Thames sailing barges were then Great Britain's most prolific commercial cargo-carrying ships, and Wyvenhoe holds the record for having traded longer than any other registered ship.

Today she is fully restored and equipped as a 12 passenger-carrying charter craft.

She undertakes sailing trips for: Family holidays; adventures for Clubs and associations; yachtsmen learning new skills; youth groups and schools; business rewards schemes; business client/customer entertainment; team building exercises; birthdays and parties; birdwatching/wildlife observation art and photography groups/classes; adult group sailing; as part of wider individual training/treatment programs.

Sailing aboard the Wyvenhoe is a chance to experience a sea-going adventure from a bygone age in the Thames estuary and along the cost of East Anglia.

Wvyenhoe is also available for hire as a static venue for commercial and private functions.
