The Matthew

About

Enjoy a cruise around Floating Harbour on board The Matthew and experience our beautiful city from the water on this 45–50-minute round trip.

The trip sets off from The Matthew's Princes Wharf mooring, taking in the sights and sounds of Bristol's historic Harbour as you sail on a round trip between Prince Street Bridge and Junction Lock.

During the trip, you are free to wander around the main deck – there are some excellent vantage points from which to take photos! At the end of the trip, the ship returns to Princes Wharf for disembarking.

New dates are released throughout The Matthew's sailing season (April-October). Please check The Matthew website for up-to-date ticket availability.
