We love having people come on trips on Endeavour, and back in 2022, we took a decision that we wanted to spent more time in local waters benefiting local people. We were rewarded by having more folks take a trip than ever before!
If you'd like to come out on Endeavour, scroll down to the Schedule of Events.
Endeavour is a historic boat, and we have taken great care to restore her to how she would have looked when she was built - also how she would have looked when she went to Dunkirk. She wasn't built to modern standards and there are health and safety risks when taking a trip on her.
A health and safety briefing is given to all passengers before departure and all are required to wear a buoyancy aid while on board. The drinking of alcohol is not permitted on board under any circumstances.
Schedule of Events 2025
A schedule of events is available to download here. This is all the possible dates that Endeavour could sail in 2025, and is accurate as of 06/03/25.Where do YOU want to go!
The Trust is keen to encourage members to enjoy an excursion on Endeavour. We don’t want her to be a museum piece—we want her to be living history, enjoyed, recognised and valued by the public. We’re open to discussion with members as to the types of excursion that takes place!
Can Non-Members Come?
Endeavour is insured as a pleasure boat, which sadly means that we can't just sell tickets for trips to anyone that wants one. Sadly, our insurance prevents us from taking non-members out.
We'd love to be able to turn up at Bell Wharf and just take the money from whoever fancied a jaunt to the pier, but this would require us to be a commercial vessel, which would necessitate us complying with modern health and safety standards. This could mean modifying the boat to include things like safety railings, and we hope you'd all agree that that's really not something we should be doing to a historically significant boat!
But don't fret - the cost of a year's membership is no more expensive than the per person amount that you’d pay for a comparable trip on a commercial pleasure-boat!
We are very happy to process memberships so people can go on Endeavour, so encourage anyone you know that might be interested in a trip to take up membership (see the Membership Page. or talk to Chris Burls).
The cost of a membership also gets you copies of our newsletter and compared to the price of a trip on a historic commercial vessel, membership is extremely good value!
The Small Print!
Weather, crew availability and other factors mean that Endeavour doesn’t go out on every date, but we’d really like to encourage our members to take advantage of the opportunity to go out.
How Do I Book a Trip?
If you’re are interested in particular dates, contact Chris Burls (01702 553274) to enquire if the date is still available. This schedule is subject to change, so please check our Trips on Endeavour page on the website and social media or contact us for the latest.
You could even Volunteer!
We are always looking for people that might be willing to come and crew regularly for Endeavour and possibly become a future skipper. If this might be you, do please let us know—full familiarisation and training will be given!
She’s your boat—please use her!
