Sailing Barge - THISTLE
Charter information |
| The
Thistle has been carefully designed to be as flexible as possible for
a wide variety of charters. Her modern conversion blends well with the
essential charm of an old Thames Sailing Barge.
Static Charter.The large saloon can hold eighty people or more for: Receptions, Cocktails, Press Conferences, Seminars and Business Meetings. When moored alongside, numbers of guests are only limited by space.
Sailing Charters.Day Charters- Thistle can work from almost all ports and etties, providing a fascinating day away. Refreshments can be provided to suit the occasion - from bar snacks to gourmet meals.Weekend charters- Overnight accomodation in comfort is limited to 12, but that allows all the guests on board a chance, should they wish, to participate in the sailing of the barge.Longer charters- These give the chance to go further afield, and explore the creeks and estuaries that have been the home of barges for the last two centuries. Like weekend charters, they can be combined with seminars or conferences. Government regulations can limit certain charters to 12 guests, depending on area and type. Thistles' normal limit is about 35 passengers when under power. The normal charter area is the East and South Coasts of England, but with her strong rig and powerful engine, she can operate anywhere in Europe. Long term charters further away, such as the East Coast of America, the Bahamas and Canada are also possible. |
