Barge Matches & River Cruises

Throughout the year Victor runs special interest cruises, bird watching safaris river cruises on the stunning Orwell and Stour rivers departing from either Mistley or Ipswich Old Customs House.

Discounts for block bookings of 5 or more people.

For those individuals or groups with a real interest in old sailing vessels and how they work, 'sign up' as crew on Victor on one or more of the annual, historic Barge Matches.

Be part of a fierce but friendly rivalry which sees the best of the remaining Thames Sailing Barges competing at matches around the historic Thames and East Coast rivers and trading ports.

Barge Matches: Pin Mill, Thames, Colne, Blackwater, Passage, Southend, Swale and Medway. See www.thamesmatch.co.uk

Victor also makes a truly memorable venue to celebrate a birthday or anniversary. A combination of an authentic 19th century sailing vessel and modern facilities are perfect ingredients for a perfect event.
