Brownes Thames Estuary Boat Trips Arvostelua 

We had the most amazing experience with Brownes Thames Estuary Boat Trips celebrating my son Mark’s 8th birthday. It was such a special and memorable day for our family and friends.

A big thank you to our skipper Angus, who was so welcoming, friendly and professional from the moment we arrived. He made everyone feel comfortable and helped make the whole trip run smoothly.

The journey was beautiful — from Leigh-on-Sea, seeing the views, enjoying the water, and creating memories we will always treasure. The children had such a wonderful time and it was a birthday celebration we will never forget.

Thank you Angus and the Brownes team for giving us such a fantastic experience. I would highly recommend this lovely family-run boat trip to anyone looking for something unique and special.
Ida & family

Well, where to begin. Firstly, met the skipper, Angus Brown, friendly, informative, and generally a really great man. Then got on the 'starfish'. Great boat, comfortable, and good looking. Then we went to sea, had a most excellent time, it was thrilling, exciting, enjoyable, and just made our hearts sing. It was such a fantastic day, worth every penny and more. Great boat, great skipper, great day, 100%. If you're thinking of doing it, do it, you'll regret missing this one. Experience of a lifetime.

Scattering of Ashes..
From start to finish the quality of service was superb.
Booking was made easy due to great communication.
We were picked up a bit late due to strong winds holding the tide back but throughout were kept updated with regular texts.
The boat was very clean and tidy.
Many thanks to Angus for his professionalism and friendly service.
The whole family were delighted with the day.
Very highly recommended.

I couldn't recommend Angus from Brownes Thames Boat Trips enough! We are currently down for a break at Southend on sea, did some research on a last minute boat trip, Angus did very well to accommodate myself and my 4 year old son on an amazing boat trip the next day, we did a 3 hour boat trip which included seeing some amazing views! Angus is very professional & very knowledgeable. My 4 year old throughly enjoyed his first ever boat ride and so did I, we will definitely be back to explore some more!
Thankyou for everything Angus!

We chartered Brownes Boat Trips to help us scatter my father in laws ashes. Angus is superb! He made everyone feel at ease, and nothing was too much trouble.
We’d highly recommend Angus!

Angus has being great. Very knowledgeable and friendly. Great support are given from the minute we made the booking. Look after us throughout and ensure everything went smoothly. Thank you for everything.

I cannot recommend Angus more. My dad wanted his ashes scattered on the Thames and we struggled to find someone who would do this London side and finding Brownes Thames Estuary Boat Trips really saved the day! Angus understood what a tender type of trip this was and couldn’t be more accommodating. It really was the perfect send off for our dad. Although I hope no one needs the recommendation should you want your loved one’s ashes scattered this way I would definitely recommend and would ride again. Thank you once again Angus!

An Unforgettable Trip on the Thames Estuary!
​We recently took a boat trip with Brownes Thames Estuary Boat Trips, and it was a genuinely fantastic experience—a perfect way to explore the local coastline and nature from a unique, relaxing perspective.
​The service, led by our excellent skipper (often Angus, who is clearly passionate and highly experienced), was professional, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable. The commentary was engaging, highlighting the beauty of the Estuary's natural landscape, the local coastal sights, and providing insights into the marine environment and wildlife. The boat itself, Starfish, felt safe, well-equipped, and comfortable for the duration of the trip.
​What makes Brownes stand out is the focus on the Estuary's stunning scenery and the overall relaxed atmosphere. Whether you are a local or a visitor, this trip offers a peaceful view of Southend-on-Sea and the surrounding areas.
​Highly recommended for families, nature lovers, or anyone looking for a memorable, relaxing day out on the water. We will definitely be booking another trip soon!
