Introduction to the Thames Sailing Barge Trust (TSBT)
The TSBT is a registered charity that exists to preserve two Thames barges in sailing condition for the benefit of the public and to pass on the skills required to sail them. Although the TSBT owns the barges they are operated by a wholly owned trading subsidiary TSBT Sailing and Charters Limited. This is a non-profit company and all sailing fees and membership subscriptions are used to maintain and restore the barges and meet their operating expenses.
Behaviours Policy
The Thames Sailing Barge Trust are committed to eliminating discrimination and recognising equality and diversity in our own policies, practices and procedures and encouraging those outside our organisation to do the same in their dealings with volunteers, customers, suppliers and third parties.

Feedback From Our Visitors
August 2022 - Clacton Airshow Cruise
I took a three day trip on Thames Sailing Barge Centaur from Maldon to Clacton to watch the Airshow. This is one of two barges owned and run by the Thames Sailing Barge Trust with enthusiastic volunteers. The friendliness of the Captain, crew and guests made this experience unforgettable.
August 2022 - Children's Days
A fantastically well organised event, everything explained, brilliant Activity Books and well organised activities - very 'hands on'. The boys loved it.
Thank you to all the volunteers for a fantastic time. All very friendly and knowledgeable. Take home resources were fab.
