Volunteer with Beatrice

Beatrice is operated by two or three volunteers. One is a qualified skipper and at least one of the others will  be a fully trained crew member. All our crew volunteers take a full part in running the boat, under the supervision of the skipper. They take their turn at the helm and at working the locks. Passengers are encouraged to help with the locks but, with children, a member of school staff must also help.

For more information about becoming a volunteer, ring the Chairman on 01538 386820
