Where does it cruise to on the 1 hour trip and does it drop you off at Cowes on the 2 hour trip or bring you back.
Sounds like fun anyway.

Unfortunately, it's just a round trip...the Cowes landing is rather exposed and we cannot be sure of being able to land there!! In our experience it's a bit of a white elephant!

So, round trips from Newport Harbour with lots of drinks at the Bargemans, Medina Quay, The Riverside Centre or the fabulous Quay Arts Centre when you disembark.

The Monarch is great fun, and we hope to be welcoming many of you aboard for a good old chug!!

I think I saw your paddle steamer moored near the Quay Arts centre a couple of days ago. It looked fantastic and I will certainly come on a trip. I will pass details to some friends coming over from London in the run-up to Christmas.

I walk passed the boat whilst going to and from work (three days a week) and I always think how nice it looks and how I would love to go on it, so hopefully one day (maybe on one of my non working days) I will be able to get on one of the trips. I've definitely got it on my "something I must do" list!!!
