The Tern has two levels and at full capacity can hold 350 passengers.
The M.V Tern was built by Forrest & Son, Wyvenhoe, Essex in 1891, as a steam-powered yacht. This was converted to diesel power In 1956. The Tern is 145ft in length and weighs 121 tonnes. On board, it is manned by a crew of 4 and can reach a speed of 10 knots with its 2 x 6 cylinder Cummins diesel engines, 2 x auxiliary generators and bow thruster.
This vessel operates on the Red Cruise and Yellow Cruise during our peak season (April - October), and can also be hired for private events.
As a family of four we had a fantastic time on the boat. Easy to use and lots of friendly and helpful people showing you everything plus the weather was brilliant so couldn’t have gone any better. Would highly recommend this and cannot wait to come back now thank you very much. ~Liam. Google Reviews.
Great trip on the lake in the boat. Very careful about safety instructions and spotlessly clean and well looked after boat. Highly recommended! ~Fi M. Google Reviews.
Highlight of our visit was taking a boat out around the lake. The staff were super friendly, informative, helpful and they were great with our dog who was even allowed on board! Beautiful way to see the lake and thankfully we were blessed with the weather. Would 100% recommend. Laura McNamara. Google Reviews
Fantastic time hiring a boat for an hour. Third year in a row we have done it and it's always excellent. Book online as it does get fully booked. Easy, swift service once we arrive and great staff. Highly recommend! ~Morgan Ditchburn. Google Reviews.
