RIB at Runswick Bay    
Youth and Community groups are an important part of our activities. Self reliance, team building and communication are some of the skills which can be learnt in the some times difficult conditions on the North sea.

 

 

     

 

“ Successful team-building between young people and supervisors and each other”, “learned how to support one another in an alien environment and how to work as a team” “ The whole trip was excellent, I would recommend it to everybody. We’ll be doing it again!”
Some of the comments from youth leaders and training organisation after experiencing day’s out on board ‘Northumbria’.

Be Skipper For A Day

We have recently completed a major refit of the Gannet boat acquired from Stainsacre Residential Centre near Whitby. The work included the installation of a new diesel engine which has made the boat more reliable and easier to handle.

For a small charge, school, youth and community groups are able to charter the Gannet to explore the River Tees upriver from Middlesbrough through the Tees Barrage to Yarm.

The boat, which has a maximum speed of 6 knots, is fully equipped and capable of carrying 12 passengers. We can supply life jackets and waterproof clothing as required. All we ask is that the person in charge of the group spends a day or two with us training in the safe handling and operation of the boat. For more details contact Trevor Forster.
