Due to the continuation of covid restriction, the boat will be operating at a greatly reduced capacity.  It will take a maximum of 30 visitors, depending on the size of family/bubble groups.

Get onboard our Waterbus service which makes it easier to travel between the Historic Dockyard site, the Royal Navy Submarine Museum, and Explosion Museum.

The Waterbus runs at weekends only during winter opening (November to March inclusive).

The Waterbus is subject to availability and prevailing weather conditions and its availability cannot be guaranteed. The waterbus leaves from the jetty alongside HMS Warrior. Please see the table below for the waterbus departure times.
