Surrey Care Trust

Swingbridge Community boats provide a wonderful experience for young people, community groups, the elderly, and families, particularly those who have limited mobility or special needs. These outings offer the opportunity to enhance well-being by the soothing speed and tranquillity of travelling on water.

Our boats run excursions on the River Wey throughout the spring, summer and early autumn. Recently the boats have been re-named Tranquility and Endeavour, with Tranquility offering a specially adapted wheelchair lift.

Location: Dapdune Wharf, Guildford. Cruises or One Day Boat Courses: 10.30am and 1.30pm

Come on board for confidence building, learning new skills, working as a team, relaxing, tranquillity, being in nature, new experiences and training.

Tranquility helps people take time out in a relaxed, purpose-built setting. Are you looking for a special extracurricular or reward activity for your group? Or an engaging team-building or motivational activity for your organisation? Or for an opportunity to volunteer and support your community. Swingbridge Tranquility's trips and activities are for you!

Moored at Dapdune wharf in Guildford, Tranquility is specifically adapted with a wheelchair lift, so it is fully accessible for people with limited mobility as well as other needs, to enjoy a morning or afternoon out. We also offer courses leading to National Community Boats Association qualifications as well as our own courses. All training courses can be adapted to meet different inte rests and ability levels.
