 Number Three

Built in Devon in 1977 as a passenger boat, Number Three is by far the youngest wooden passenger boat in operation in Bristol with fine lines similar to vessels used around the Scilly Isles. It is three quarters covered with the ability to be fully open if the weather suits. The boat accomodates fifty persons comfortably but on Avon Gorge trips we will carry a maximum of forty passengers.

After extensive consultations with the relevant licensing authorities and two years of evening and weekend conversion work later our first passenger boat was completed. Number seven will seat thirty-six passengers. It is a covered boat with good weather protection and has roll-up windows to give excellent ventilation in hot weather. Number Seven comes with a bar, toilet and sound system similar to Number Three.
