Award Winning Experiences

Hop aboard Limoncello, our Sealine F43 Cruiser, and delight in a leisurely cruise along the scenic River Crouch valley. Our departures take place from Fambridge Marina, providing you with the opportunity to immerse yourself in the charm of the Essex countryside and encounter local wildlife, including seals and various bird species.

At Cruise Essex, we are committed to championing local businesses. That’s why we collaborate closely with Essex-based vineyards, cheesemongers, and breweries, enhancing the experiences of our guests with the finest local flavors and products.

Once on board, there will be a short safety briefing and a chance to take your seats before we set-off along the river, where you can take in the sights and relax in the different seating areas around the cruiser.
