The only Coal Fired Steam Drifter in the World is sailing again!
At only £325.00 per person (much less than a day's tank driving experience or a 30 minute vintage aircraft flight!)
it's the experience of a lifetime!
With the chance to stoke the boiler, enjoy time at the helm and help the crew all included.
Or, if you prefer to kick back and relax, just sit on deck and enjoy the day!
