Bristol Ferry Harbour Crossing

About

A cross-harbour ferry service run by Number Seven Boat Trips on the Mary Brunel, connecting Hanover Quay by the ss Great Britain with stops around the Floating Harbour, running on demand within set hours rather than to a fixed timetable. At £1.30 a journey it is one of the cheapest ways to see the working harbour from the water, and a monthly pass is available for regular use. It runs alongside Bristol Ferry Boats' more tourist-oriented sightseeing and river-cruise services, which cover a longer stretch of the harbour and river for a higher fare.

Highlights

• ✓Cheap, frequent, on-demand crossings of the Floating Harbour
