Burton Waters Cruising Club

Created in 2023 to provide moorers with unique cruising in company experiences, building confidence on the tidal rivers, Humber estuary and out at Sea.

Cruise in Company flotillas by Burton Waters Cruising Club is a great way to experience and learn the practical and theoretical elements of the tidal rivers close to Burton Waters with other boaters experienced and not so, guided by our RYA Instructors. Socialise, exchange boating stories and meet new friends.

Flotillas are put on throughout the boating season, the chance to join a guided flotilla of boats to one of the marinas navigable to via the tidal rivers close to us at Burton Waters.

For those cruising on the tidal River Trent for the first time we suggest the passages to and from Newark. Instruction will include planning and how to use the tides for a safe passage. Experience the large locks at Cromwell and Newark. Overnight stop would be at one of the Newark marinas.

Those with a little more experience, learn how to work the tides and read the charts for a safe passage to Hull along the River Trent and Humber Estuary. For those making this interesting passage to Hull Marina you would meet the large sea going coasters on route and pass beneath the Humber Bridge.

Some of our destinations include Goole, Hull, Farndon, Newark marinas as well as trips to Wells-next-Sea and the Wash via Boston and the Glory Hole. These trips are excellent for growing in confidence, being in a group of boats and boaters of all experiences. You will be guided through passage and tide planning as well as the operation and routines in the large locks of the Trent; journeys ensure all crews are shown safe and enjoyable cruising.
