The Lady Essex III runs from Essex Marina, Wallasea with regular seal and wildlife trips and also a ferry service to and from the pubs and restaurants at Burnham Town Quay.
The ferry service runs between Essex Marina and Burnham on Crouch Quay, which now benefits from a new pontoon system. The ferry will run from Easter and then from Whitsun through to the end of September. There are a host of fine eateries in Burnham and the area is very popular for Sunday lunch.
The seal and wildlife trips pass by Wallasea Island and the huge Wallasea Wetlands Scheme the largest reclamation and wildlife project in Europe. We work in conjunction with the RSPB who provide a guide for some of our trips. This trip is ideal for those who don't like rough seas as the creeks are very sheltered.

The Deplorer II Our fast reinforced aluminium assault craft has been fitted with a new ultra quiet engine for 2009. This open boat is insured to carry up to 8 passengers but is ideal for up to 5 people. She is available for hire as a water taxi and private charter her shallow draft allows us easy landing virtually anywhere on the Crouch or Roach including Foulness Island.
We can arrange private cost effective seal and wildlife charters, one way trips for walkers, perhaps to the remote untouched Branklet beach or the Wetlands. We can explore tiny creeks and even land you at Paglesham creekhead a short walk to the superb Punchbowl at Churchend.
Shore fishermen can get effortlessly to the more distant and better fishing marks. Or perhaps a few hours fishing. We aim to offer fly fishing for Bass and Mullet during the summer.
