Sea Shanties & Ale Cruise
Sea Shanties & Ale Cruise
Sea Shanties & Ale Cruise, Friday 2nd October, 7pm.
We are running a trip with a distinctly maritime musical flavour. Enjoy an evening of authentic sea shanties and folk songs with The Shanty Hounds. Sing along to the ones you know and then enjoy a fish and chip supper.
Starting from Colt Hill Wharf, Odiham, the boat will head eastwards and turn at the Barley Mow bridge in Winchfield, where the fish and chip suppers will be delivered. Real ale is available for purchase at the bar.
These trips are popular, and to avoid disappointment we suggest you make a booking beforehand. For the added convenience of passengers, we are limited to 40 passengers on this trip, and cannot guarantee to have space at the last moment.
Please note: This trip must be booked at least 48 hours in advance of departure.
Prices (including fish and chip supper*)
Adults | £25.00 |
*To request a non-fish alternative, please contact the Booking Team
Duration
Around 3½ hours, however please note: trip may be longer when the canal water is low, for example, after periods of little rain.
A licenced bar is open on all cruises, where you can purchase coffee, tea, drinks, and light refreshments. Souvenirs are available to help you remember the occasion.
Both the John Pinkerton II and its operating company are wholly owned by The Basingstoke Canal Society (a registered charity). All crew members are trained volunteers, and skippers are accredited by the Maritime and Coastguard Agency. Proceeds from boat trips go towards safeguarding the Basingstoke Canal for the future.
