On the Chelmer and Blackwater Navigation
All Saints Church at Ulting
BLACKWATER ROSE is ideal for charter/corporate outings and business meetings and even taking the bride to the Church. We have even had a wedding and the bride and bridesmaids boarded at Hoe Mill where we cruised down to the lovely All Saints Church at Ulting. After the ceremony we took the bride and groom up to Paper Mill where their car was waiting for them.(This

It has an original
diesel engine with a traditional sound, and can carry up to 12 passengers and crew for
hour trips or longer cruises by arrangement. Your skipper will be able to
answer any questions you have about the waterway. Facilities aboard includes a large open fore deck with seating, from where river views can be enjoyed, and internal cabins with
toilet and hand washing facilities. BLACKWATER ROSE is available to short trips. Why not make that birthday or anniversary special by hiring
her for your private party, corporate trips or maybe an unusual venue for that important meeting.
Enjoy the tranquil river while relaxing onboard and let the skipper take you on a relaxing cruise. You can bring along your own picnic and refreshments and celebrate in style.
Why not order a buffet for delivery from your local supermarket. Arrangements
must be made with Blackwater Boats before you make an order to ensure that some
is available to take the delivery. The Chelmer and Blackwater is the ideal introduction to life on
this Essex inland waterway. The back cabin on Blackwater Rose has been constructed along the same lines of
an original boatman's cabin and includes an Edwardian range as part of the unusual
fixtures and fittings. The front deck, with seating for up to 12 persons, is fitted
with a canopy to make the cruise just as enjoyable whatever the weather. So why
not try us for that day with a difference. Blackwater Rose
