BOOK NOW You’ll set off from Beaumaris Pier, cruising along the Menai Strait and into Port Penrhyn (depending on tides) then past Bangor Pier (Wales’s longest at 1500ft!). Along the way, you’ll see some truly magnificent buildings including Plas Newydd and those of Millionaire’s Row. Completed in 1826, the Menai Bridge truly was a triumph of civil engineering and we think it can only be fully appreciated from below by boat! Marvel at its enormity as you pass underneath it and imagine sailing ships navigating the treacherous waters to pass underneath it’s arches in times gone by. Your experienced skipper will then navigate the Swellies! Watch out for shipwrecks and stranded boats – many a seafarer has run into trouble in the strong currents which create a series of whirlpools in the surrounding waters!
