What do you call a cruise around Bristol Harbour that doesn’t provide fish and chips? De-fish-ient. Setting off from Princes Wharf, this special cruise will take you on a round trip around the harbour between Prince Street Bridge and The Pumphouse/Junction Lock.
Fresh fish and chips will be served from local caterers and delivered to customers on deck with fish, chicken, pork sausage or veggie/vegan sausage all available. All options are served with chips.
If you’re looking for something a little more interesting, why not book in for one of The Matthew’s Sea Shanty trips, where your meal will be accompanied by a live musical performance from the residence Sea Shanty groups or the ‘Fish & Chips Trip with Piratitude’, where you’ll be treated to brilliant entertainment from local pirates, arrrr!
The Matthew’s Fish and Chip cruises, along with their regular Avon Gorge and Harbour trips are scheduled regularly throughout the Spring and Summer with some trips already sold out – browse dates and book your trip now on The Matthew’s website.
The original Matthew was the caravel sailed by Italian navigator and explorer John Cabot from Bristol harbourside to Newfoundland in 1497, North America on a journey that was originally supposed to end in Asia. To celebrate the voyage’s 500th anniversary, a replica was built and moored at Bristol’s historic harbourside before recreating the original journey, being welcomed by Queen Elizabeth II at Bonavista where there is also a second replica.
Still located at Bristol Harbourside, The Matthew offers visitors a whole range of exciting trips around the city as well as a glimpse into the city’s rich nautical history.
