FAQs

How long will the charter last?
The trip will last one hour.

What measures are in place to keep the Tall Ship Tours COVID secure?
We have reduced the amount of passengers on the boat to allow for social distancing between the crew and your group. All crew and passengers on the boat are expected to wear masks and crew will be regularly using hand sanitiser. The boat and life jackets will be sanitised between each trip. Please note that crew will not be able to help passengers on and off the boat at this time.

Do I have to wear a mask on the boat?
Yes, a mask must be worn throughout the Museum visit including when on the boat. Those with an exemption do not have to wear a covering.

What time do I need to meet the crew?
Please meet 15 minutes before the start of the tour at the Museum’s admission desk. This allows enough time to put on life jackets and get ready for the trip.

Are there facilities on the boat?
There are no toilet or refreshment facilities on the boat. The Museum has toilets and a café for refreshments, which you are welcome to use before or after the boat trip.

Can I take my baby on the tour with me?
Unfortunately, due to safety concerns, we are unable to offer spaces to any children under the age of two, including babies.

Can I transfer my ticket to another day?
Unfortunately tickets are non-transferable and non-refundable. If the Museum has to cancel the Tall Ship Tour a ticket transfer or full refund will be given.

If it rains is there somewhere dry to sit?
The boat does not have a covered area and is open to the elements. We recommend being prepared for all weather conditions with suitable clothing and footwear.
