We have recently acquired ‘Long Tom’, a 45’ long narrow boat fitted out to provide an ideal experience for passengers on a half or full day, or evening, trip. Long Tom is less traditional in style than ‘Angel II’, and provides plenty of space, and excellent views, for up to 12 passengers. The galley has provisions for making hot drinks and warming food, heating is available in colder weather and there is a washroom and WC. As with ‘Angel II’, we provide a qualified skipper on all trips.
