Rose
O’Dea is a charming traditional wooden launch
and the ideal self-drive classic for the discerning boater
who wants a user friendly launch.
Perfect
for pre-lunch/dinner drinks, lazy afternoons, birthday &
anniversary treats or for fabulous wedding transport. With
comfortable seating for up to 10 people, there's plenty of
room for Champagne, Pimms & any other refreshments!
Princess
Marina is a piece of
living history after being built in Great Yarmouth in 1928,
now lovingly renovated and refurbished. She can accommodate
between 35 to 80 passengers and is perfect for weddings, family
parties & all celebrations. With the class and elegance
that she deserves and the best soft furnishings you can find,
all the fixtures and fittings are in keeping with the vessel's
grand design.
