Ferry Information

We are a traditional family run rowing boat service operating across the River Blyth from Southwold to Walberswick in Suffolk.k
​Our wooden rowing boats are based on the Suffolk punt design and carry up to 12 passengers at a time. Sometimes our motor launch is also used as a ferry if conditions are unsuitable for rowing, during winter, or if it is too busy  that the small rowing boat cannot cope with the high volume of passengers.

​
 Opening hrs 2025

**On 2nd March the ferry will open at 10am due to the half marathon taking place around Walberswick and Southwold and subsequent road closures**
