About
Bristol Ferry have been proudly serving Bristol’s waterways since 1977. Their iconic yellow and blue boats have been brightening up the Harbour and showcasing Bristol’s wealth of history and maritime heritage to locals and visitors alike. They are a not-for-profit business, well known for their friendly crew and relaxing rides.
Daily Tours
Currently they offer a waterbus service from the City Centre – leaving every 45 minutes from 10am. All daily travel updates can be found on their website.
Single fares are available for those wishing to get from A to B, or a stay-on-board fare for those wanting to sit back and see the entire Harbour on a round-trip.
Trips & Events
Bristol Ferry offer a range of events which can be booked through their website.
• Gin Cruises
Enjoy a two-hour trip with two inclusive drinks. Sit back, relax and enjoy the scenery as our crew help to quench a thirsty Thursday. Find out more
• Trips to Beese’s
Beese’s is a charming riverside venue with a beautiful garden, just tucked away along the leafy Conham River Park. Bristol Ferry offer frequent trips there and back on their midweek Cream Tea Cruises, Friday night Band at Beeses (one-way) and their Sunday Shuttle Service. Find out more
Private Hire & Boat Parties
All of their boats are available for Private Hire – most weekends you can see groups on board having the night of their lives – cruising around the docks and visiting riverside venues along the way.
The price of each boat and duration differs and is advised you call their friendly bookings team on 0117 927 3416 – they are always happy to check what is available and tailor the experience to you and your group. Always have alternative dates in mind and ask for the price per person!
The boats are also all available to hire for private trips from educational tours, corporate events, birthdays, weddings, hen dos, river cruises, vintage tea parties, bucks fizz breakfasts, transfers and of course the classic boat party.
