Rosette, Francis J Batten, Edwardian Lady and John Constable operate on the three mile stretch between Sudbury, Great Cornard and Great Henny.
Our boats are crewed by fully trained volunteers and are available for scheduled trips and private charters. Proceeds go towards the charitable aims and objectives of the River Stour Trust.
