A Salt Marsh exploration involves a sail through the protected creeks, in either the engineless mussel flat or the crab boat and on very high tides the whelk boat; We depart at the very start of the tide from East Quay, as the sea flows into the salt marsh until the waters are static at high tide about 2 hrs later. We then stop for an hour to enjoy a hot drink and one of Norfolk’s best locally sourced meals, which could include local artisan sourdough, Norfolk cheeses, locally made pies and more. We then use the outgoing tide to bring us back to the pontoon at Wells.

Time:
3 -4 hours, depending on tides, weather and the light.

Boat Options:
16’ open engineless mussel flat (Upto 4 people)
20’ open wooden lug rigged Crab Boat (Upto 6 people)
30’ whelk boat (Upto 10 people).

Cost;
£385 for the mussel flat
£545 for the crab boat
£745 for our larger whelk boat.

Food:
we work with local food producers to provide some of the best of Norfolk’s sustainable food. Breakfast is typically bacon and eggs with tea or locally ground coffee or a vegetarian option such as halloumi cheese, mushrooms and tomatoes and for lunch we serve a light picnic or if it is cold, soup. We also serve homemade cake which could vary from flapjack to lemon drizzle cake to chocolate cake.

Experience:
no experience is required, we are super flexible, so you can either drive the boat and handle the sails or just sit back and relax!
