Angus and Paul took us out and helped us find the perfect spot they were so helpful and respectful cant thank them enough. Their service was amazing and would definitely use them again some day for a leisurely trip.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Lauren Taplin23 April 2024We booked to spread my dad’s ashes in the sea with Angus with 10 of my family on the boat. It was a really nice trip and Angus was a great skipper. Everything went as planned and was exactly how we wanted it. Thanks Angus xxTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Sharon Taplin23 April 2024My family and I recently had an excellent trip with Angus to scatter my late Husband's ashes. This is something which I had been putting off for ages but I am so glad that we chose to do it with Brownes Thames Estuary Boat Trips. Nothing was too much trouble and Angus kept us informed and updated the whole time ensuring that we had a safe and pleasant trip. Angus is friendly, professional and extremely knowledgeable making a trip which I was dreading into a pleasurable experience, we even had a few laughs along the way! I would definately recommend Brownes Thames Estuary Boat Trips!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Lauren Collin1 April 2024We had the most amazing time on our trip to see Red Sands Maunsell Fort Towers. Angus and Craig were brilliant and so knowledgeable and accommodating. Cannot recommend it enough. The pictures of the Towers we have seen do not do them justice. Thank you again for giving our dad a surprise birthday trip to remember.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Joanna Malvern11 February 2024Excellent trip - felt v safe and Angus’ knowledge of the area was great.

Boat was very clean and tidy. Very knowledgeable guy and pleasant. Have booked again for another day out. Thanks again Angus for all your help.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.roma ramsurn7 January 2024Today we went to scatter dad’s ashes and we chose Angus to take us. He really made us feel at ease and made our journey to give dad his final send off as nice as it can be. It was cold but he made sure we were looked after, I really do recommend using Angus if you ever need to use the service of scattering ashes. However he told us that he also takes the boat to London which will surely be an enjoyable trip, I may return in the summer. We all felt at ease on board.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.david down10 December 2023Amazing day, loved every minute of it, the boat was great and Angus was a fantastic captain and host. Very safe (it was a foggy and very atmospheric day out in the estuary) but lots of fun. What a great way to celebrate my birthday. A very well deserved 5 stars ! Wouldn’t hesitate to do it again!

The tides in Leigh on Sea do not wait for anybody. The time on your booking is very carefully calculated and is the time we must meet to depart for your trip. If you do find yourself running late or stuck in traffic, please notify us immediately. We will then make the judgement if we will still be able to depart, however any time missed cannot be added to the end of your trip and you will lose that time.
The 50% deposit paid to secure your trip is non-refundable. If we cannot find a suitable alternative date to accommodate your trip, we will offer you the 50% balance you paid as a refund. You will not get the non-refundable deposit back, this can only be used towards another trip.
Our passengers safety is our main priority and if for any reason the weather is too dangerous to go out in, your trip will be cancelled. We will give you as much notice as possible and the weather is checked in the days leading up to each trip. The non-refundable deposit and any balance paid will then be used towards re-booking your trip. Once at sea, if we have to turn back due to bad weather we cannot offer a refund for this as this is out of our hands and your safety is key.
There is no minimum age as long as all children are accompanied by a responsible adult and are on their best behaviour!
Our trips are tide dependant but we are able to go out on most days, its just up to you to get in touch with a date and we will try our very best to accommodate you!
Yes! All of our trips are tailor made and the routes we take depend on what you would like to see on your trip (time and tide dependant). If you have any ideas in mind, please let us know when requesting your booking so we can tell you if they are achievable.
Yes of course, as long as all rubbish is taken with you when you depart, feel free to bring your own food and drink on board. We have no cooking facilities. Plenty of water is also recommended.
We are happy for you to bring your furry friends onboard, however dogs must remain on the deck, they are not allowed inside in the wheelhouse. Please also ensure any mess is cleaned up.
Layering is key for our trips! It can be significantly colder at sea so always ensure you have a coat with you. The majority of your trip will be spent outside on deck so waterproofs are a good choice as it is possible the spray will get you wet when onboard. In the summer months, always wear a hat and ensure you have suntan lotion with you. There is no shelter for shade on deck so please ensure you have taken this into consideration when deciding what to wear.
Sensible footwear is a must onboard our boats! Trainers/deck shoes are a good idea – we suggest you leave your high heels at home!
No, unfortunately not. Although we do offer seal spotting trips, this cannot be guaranteed (although we do see them a lot!) and we accept no responsibility if you are not successful in sighting any.
Alcohol is allowed, but only in moderation. The boat will turn back to shore if there are any overly intoxicated passengers onboard who are causing disruption to the trip, but please do feel free to bring a glass or two to enjoy yourselves!

we will get back in touch as soon as possible.
