Pleasure Boat Licence

Brownes Thames Estuary Boat Trips received their Pleasure Boat License on the 16th June 2023 from Southend Borough Council Pier & Foreshore.

This is a licence to take our paid passengers and work on as well from Southend-On-Sea foreshore grounds.

We had to prove evidence of our Qualifications, Passage Plans, Risk Assessments, Risk Management, Insurance & MCA/SCMS Coding of the boats which we passed with flying colours. 

Thank you to Richard Saunders – Pier & Foreshore Manager for all your help and support.  We look forward to working alongside you and Southend Borough Council in the future.
