Trips
Our season runs from Easter to the end of October and we operate trips to a variety of destinations, offering a choice of scenery and canal experiences.
We operate two boats - Eirlys and Tommy.
Eirlys
Eirlys is the boat for public trips and for groups of over 20 passengers.
These run from our base at Trevor to Froncysyllte. They are 45-minute trips which include two crossings of the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct. For 2012 our Trips will run daily from April to October at 12noon, 1pm, 2pm and 3pm. Visitors planning ahead will find it advantageous to ring beforehand, in case a booked party has caused an alteration to the schedule.
There's Tea, Coffee and a bar on board, and there is a commentary about canal history and canalside features as we travel.
Charter Trips
We also operate a 2-hour trip, which takes in either a trip up the Dee Valley as far as Bryn Howel or to Chirk Marina, in addition to the Aqueduct trip above. These are only available to booked parties with a minimum of 20 passengers and are the trip on which meals are served. See our menus
Other destinations include Chirk Aqueduct, the Poacher's Pocket, Lion Quays and Llangollen.
Tommy
Tommy is available for private charter for parties of up to 20 guests who can choose from a variety of menus. We also serve Sunday Lunches on Tommy, providing an opportunity for smaller groups - even couples - to enjoy a 2-hour trip.
