Essex Boat Trips

Aboard the Lady Grace

'Welcome to Lady Grace Boat Trips. As a one woman business, I started offering a range of boat trips on the Essex Coastline back in 2011. I operate from Brightlingsea Harbour.

To take a look at the full range of boat trips I offer with prices and information please click the buttons below. My business has expanded over the years and I have a growing crew, my two boys; Stanley and Douglas, born 2021 and 2024 respectively, who join us on our trips and are learning the ropes. Over the years I have been lucky enough to experience and capture some amazing sights out on the water which I offer as canvas prints in my online shop. I have written various children's books relating to the River Blackwater and the wonderful creatures inhabiting our coastline which I also have on sale in my web shop.'
