Take to the waves in a piece of maritime history on a beautiful Thames barge with the sails billowing above you, the wind singing in the rigging and the boat creaking gently as she cuts through the swell.
What Your Experience Includes

You can even become involved in hoisting sails and steering if you wish (time spent at the controls will depend on the weather, location, number of passengers and individual enthusiasm).
