ChesterBoat

Escape the hustle and bustle of the city, and let us sail you away along the River Dee: from the elegant waterfront on The Groves, past beautiful Georgian townhouses and manicured riverside gardens and into the green pastures of the Eaton Estate, home of the Duke of Westminster.

Open: Mon – Sun 11am – 5pm.

Address: Souters Lane, The Groves, Chester CH1 1SD.

Attraction Information

Picture yourself on a boat on a river….

Sailing’s our business: we’ve been welcoming guests on board for sightseeing cruises along Chester’s glorious River Dee for over 30 years.

We operate two types of daily sightseeing cruise:

Our delightful and restorative  30-minute City Cruise : sails past parks, meadows, and spectacular scenery along the River Dee; plenty to see and enough time for a relaxing drink from the bar. There’s at least one sailing an hour between 11am and 5pm each day, so you can often just walk up and step aboard, although we advise that you book online to guarantee a place – you can make great savings booking online too.

Our  Two-hour Iron Bridge Cruise  sets sail from our boat house on The Groves and heads out into the stunning Cheshire countryside. This is a wonderfully tranquil stretch of the Dee, where you might spot herons, kingfishers, dragonflies and other wildlife. We’ll pass by Heronbridge and the picturesque Eccleston Ferry, then meander around the Crook of Dee before passing under the famous Victorian iron bridge at Aldford before heading back to the city. We have two sailings a day, at noon and 2.30: perfect for a leisurely packed lunch.

Both cruises feature an informative audio commentary about the river, the city and their histories.

Combined Boat & Bus Ticket

Make the most out of your visit to Chester by combining your half-hour cruise with a City Sightseeing open top bus tour of the city. Add the bus upgrade to your basket at checkout, and save up to £5 per person compared to buying the cruise and bus tickets separately.

We’ve a range of family-friendly  themed boat trips  too: our monthly Fish and Chip cruise is a fantastic after-school Friday treat; join us for Curry and Quiz nights or enjoy an elegant Vintage Afternoon Tea afloat.

And when the sun goes down, we’re ready to party!  Step aboard for a night out with a difference. Our on-board DJ will play favourite floor fillers from the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s and beyond as you dance your way along the river. Just choose your theme – or your era! Party nights afloat are great fun for office parties, hen nights, birthdays, proms or any occasion where you want to have fun.   Find our full programme online  – and save cash by booking online too.

And if you’re after something a little more exclusive, your carriage awaits! You can  charter any of our three riverboats  for private parties, corporate events, weddings, civil partnerships, dining or even casino nights.

Our fleet of three comfortable, recently refurbished craft all have a well-stocked, licenced bar, with bottled beers, ciders and ales; wines and spirits; soft drinks; hot drinks and snacks. They all have enclosed, heated saloons for cooler days and you’re fully protected from the elements, whatever the weather.

Our beautiful riverboat The Lady Diana holds up to 120 guests; The Mark Twain, up to 70; and The Jackie – the baby of our fleet – boasts an open-top sundeck and can accommodate 40 people over two levels. The Lady Diana and the Mark Twain are both accessible for wheelchair users: see our  Access Statement  for detailed information.

Moscow Vnukovo Private Jet Charter

Vnukovo Airport, officially known as Vnukovo Andrei Tupolev International Airport, is located in Vnukovo District, 28 kilometers from Moscow. The aerodrome is one of the four major airports serving Moscow, along with Domodedovo, Sheremetyevo and Zhukovsky.

In 2019, the airport managed to become one of the 10 busiest airports in Europe, hosting 24,01 million passengers, an increase of 12% compared to the previous year. Vnukovo, one of three airports in Moscow, is located 204 meters above sea level. Therefore, in the event of fog, it has often served as an alternative airport. It is almost the only airport used by private jet charter services in the region, especially in such adverse weather conditions.

The airport has two intersecting runways with a length of 3.500 meters (11.500 ft) and a length of 3.060 meters (10.040 ft). Each runway is 60 meters (200 ft) wide and has a 10 meters (33 ft) wide safety shoulder on either side. The common runway capacity is 60 aircraft movements per hour. Vnukovo Airport is equipped with a VIP lounge, which is used by many political leaders and important people visiting Russia. The President of Russia also uses Vnukovo’s VIP facility.

Moscow private jet charter prices

Although Russia air charter fees depend on variables such as the number of passengers, departure airport, flight time, aircraft position, flight date, the prices for private jet charter from Istanbul → Moscow Vnukovo are as follows.

These prices are average amounts and you can contact us on our flight reservation screen or by phone for the most accurate price information.

History of Vnukovo, Moscow’s oldest airport

Vnukovo, whose construction was approved in 1937 and opened in 1941, is Moscow’s oldest airport. It was opened and used for military operations during the World War II; and after the war it became a civilian facility. Vnukovo started to be used for official trips to the country after 1956, and important political figures of the period set foot in this airport for the first time in Russia.

On April 20, 1956, the first passenger flights from Moscow to Alma-Ata and from Moscow to Khabarovsk on April 24, 1961 were also made from Vnukovo Airport. In 1980, Vnukovo was expanded due to the 22nd Summer Olympic Games. Vnukovo Airport became a joint stock company in 1993.

After the opening of Terminal B in 2004, Aeroexpress railway connection was provided to the Kiyevsky Train terminal of Vnukovo in August 2005, and finally the new Terminal A building was put into service in 2010. Vnukovo is Europe’s busiest airport for international flights with larger private planes.

Places to visit in in Moscow

Moscow is one of the rare cities that can appeal to all kinds of tourists in terms of places to visit. The first must-see point of Moscow, which has been the capital of Russia since 1480, is the Moscow Metro, which has managed to preserve its historical structure. Since this metro is huge, it is a logical solution to visit it with 2-hour tour organizations.
