Dear janetlittlebaby! You do not usually need to book in advance for the paddle steamer but we suggest you do arrive in reasonable time to purchase your ticket as the publicised departure times are very accurate. If you are making a special trip, please do give us a call on the day (or day before) you'd like to travel just to check she is running to schedule. We'd hate for you to travel here and miss out should something unexpected happen. We do hope you enjoy the trip on this lovely old vessel. We are very proud to be operating her! All the best Andrew Pooley, Managing Director
