Albion has day cruises available on selected days in the summer months. These day cruises give the opportunity for individuals, couples or families who could not otherwise justify chartering the whole boat to have a trip on Albion. There will be no more than 12 passengers on a trip. A qualified and experienced skipper and mate sail the boat, but we are very keen for people to participate as assistants to the crew. However, if you just want to sit on the deck and watch the Broads go by that’s fine.

What a wonderful day we had on Albion yesterday. Perfect weather apart from one shower! The usual delightful crew led by the Skipper who all made it a most informative & interesting day. Thank you for helping us to sail on the wonderful Albion again, we are grateful for your help.

You will see lots of wildlife and being on Albion, an icon of the Broads, you will find yourself being constantly photographed and waved to. Albion, built in 1898, is a ‘black sailed trader’ and as original as we can keep her, so conditions on board are clean and functional but basic.
Sailing the Broads on Albion is a very enjoyable experience and a large number of our passengers are repeat bookings, so early booking is recommended. Several day cruises are scheduled for the 2026 sailing season.

I just wanted to say what a fantastic, relaxing day we had aboard the Wherry on Friday 30th May. The boat is stunning as is the scenery and river life that we passed. The crew were brilliant and very entertaining. Please pass on our thanks to all involved.
