As part of Gravesend Maritime Festival, you can have the opportunity to sail aboard a hundred year old sailing barge and experience the river as it would have been in the early 20th century.
Enjoying a River Trip aboard either Edith May is the perfect way to get an introduction to barge sailing, sailing along Gravesend Reach with it's bustling shipping lanes.
A Thames sailing barge is the ideal platform to experience sailing, with plenty of deck space and a comfortable hold to explore. There used to be thousands of barges on this stretch of river and now there are just a couple of survivors. Once aboard, refreshments are available to purchase.
The experience lasts around 80 minutes, with a little variation depending on conditions on the day.
Before booking, please read the General Information page.
If you have any questions, please contact Tiller and Wheel.
