Launched onto the River Thames in 1975, the Sabrina made its way to Shrewsbury in 2007, making its maiden voyage on the River Severn in April of the same year. The boat was purchased by Sabrina Tours from Chester Boats in 2010 and has since become one of the most popular attractions in Shrewsbury.

An absolutely delightful way to spend an hour enjoying Shrewsbury from a different angle.
The Captain of the Sabrina was very interesting with information about local land marks as we motored along the Severn and Victoria served us drinks and snacks in a happy and friendly professional manner.
I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending the trip.

Having experienced a hen doo before with Sabrina I knew it was where I wanted my hen doo too and both times it was absolutely fabulous……the perfect place to keep 45 of us together mingling and drinking and dancing the night away with great bbq food and music courtesy of the amazing DJ GEMIMA everyone had an absolutely outstanding time and for the first timers it made a fantastic impression. Staff were brilliant and the weather made it perfect but the whole experience was beyond expectations and I would highly recommend……..BOOK IT! BOOK IT NOW! x

While the trip was short, it was a nice and peaceful experience with friendly workers who offered a lot of information. The boat also offers refreshments which are affordable. If you have younger ones, this would be good for them as it also nears a huge park for afterward activities. Go for it.

A nice little boat trip, it doesn’t go too far but the nice captain gave lots of information and history about Shrewsbury. Just a shame our trip had lots of passengers talking loudly (mostly foreign) and we couldn’t always hear everything he said, very rude. The cabin crew were friendly & efficient, serving drinks & snacks. I would recommend.

Took a random trip on a river cruise, whilst visiting Shrewsbury. Given that the town is so noisy and plagued by traffic, it was a treat to spend 45 minutes relaxing on a boat down the river. The staff were lovely and helpful. Overall I would recommend this as something to do if you are visiting the area.
