Home: Welcome

And just like that, another sailing season comes to an end.

A huge thank you to everyone who sailed with us in 2026, whether it was your first trip aboard Greta or you've been coming back year after year.

Thank you for supporting this remarkable old vessel and helping us keep her sailing. Every ticket, every piece of merchandise, every kind review and every share helps us care for Greta and preserve her story for future generations.

Now it's time for Greta to head into her winter maintenance and restoration period. There's always plenty to do to keep a 134-year-old sailing barge shipshape!

We'll be back on the water in 2027, and we can't wait to welcome you aboard again.

Until then, fair winds and calm seas from all of us aboard Greta.

⚓ A Quick Update from Greta ⚓

Many of you have been asking when we'll be sailing again, and we wanted to let you know what's been happening behind the scenes.

Our sailing season usually runs from April through to October, but this year Greta has required more restoration work than usual. As a historic vessel built in 1892, there are always jobs to be done, and sometimes those jobs reveal a few more that need attention too!

The extra time spent on maintenance and restoration now helps ensure Greta remains safe, seaworthy, and sailing for future generations to enjoy.

The good news is that Skipper Steve is determined to have Greta back in Whitstable within the next few weeks, and we're hoping to open bookings very soon.

Thank you to everyone for your patience, encouragement, and continued support. Every booking, gift card purchase, item of merchandise bought, and kind message helps keep Greta sailing.

We'll keep you updated as soon as we have firm dates to announce.

Fair winds and following seas,

The Greta Team ⚓
