Where do your boat trips leave from?
The River Runner leaves from either Sandwich Quay, or Ramsgate Harbour. We are dependent on tide times so times of trips may vary and may occasionally be limited.
Is there wheelchair access?
Yes! Our boats are especially adapted for easy wheel chair access boarding at Ramsgate Harbour. Aboard there is ample room for up to 4 wheelchair users, plus their supporters/carers. There are stairs to access the pontoon, so we are unable to offer this facility at Sandwich Quay.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, our boat and skipper are fully insured for commercial use. Our Skipper has many years experience of skippering boats at sea.
