Greenslade Pleasure Boats
Social distance will be in place, face covering will be required when seated inside the boats. Come see the wonderful Poole Harbour and Dorset coastline from a different angle. Take one of the many boat trips and pleasure cruises we regularly run from the town's bustling quayside. We are regular visitors to Poole and Brownsea Island but we'd never been on a boat tour.

The boat left from Poole Harbour, stopped to drop some people off at Brownsea Island and pick some up as well, then went on tour round the harbour. There was a very informative and witty commentary as we went, exactly what we'd hoped for.' Thanks so much. See you again I'm sure.
Services
Today we are still a family run enterprise, so you'll always enjoy a warm, friendly and helpful welcome from the Greenslade team. We focus on customer service and looking after you and your guests, so that you can't wait to get back on board with us. We take your peace of mind as seriously as we do your enjoyment.
This is a special cruise which can be taken throughout the year to the Saxon town of Wareham. It takes approximately an hour and ten minutes to travel from busy Poole Quay, along the Frome river until you reach Wareham, where you can enjoy the specialty shops, boutiques, art galleries, bistros and pubs.
To compliment our hugely popular winter bird boat trips, we thought we'd offer a slightly warmer option and create a NEW Spring tour for you to relax and enjoy. It's not just the birds we'll be focusing on, but also the wonderfully rich and scenic setting of the Wareham Channel and Frome Valley which at dawn lights up and plays host to numerous bird species as they prepare for the breeding season ahead.
This unique campsite is nestled on the south side of Brownsea Island overlooking the rolling Purbeck hills and is easily accessed by using a variety of pathways across the island. Your efforts will be rewarded by breathtaking views and a possible red squirrel sighting. You will find showers, toilets and drinking water but no food shopping facilities are available.
We offer wedding receptions, , Group outings, disco's, corporate team building events, lunches with a cruise, Hen & stag party days/evenings, Office parties, End of Term Celebrations, Charity Events. These are all bespoke to our customers and therefore the list could become endless, so come and speak to us about your event and we will do our best to help.

Critical: Professionalism
Couldn't even buy a ticket , as lady in kiosk (sunday 10 Oct ) was too busy talking to her colleague through the window in front of me . She saw me standing behind him, but let him go waffling on with his conversation for ages. We walked off in the end and now booking with another operator.

Our first harbour pleasure cruise didn’t disappoint! Booked with the company last minute that morning for an afternoon trip. Our little boy enjoyed the cruise pointing out boats then saw two amazing dolphins by the chain ferry! Staff were very friendly and helpful 😀

Absolutely brilliant afternoon. The staff are really friendly. Husband and I sat inside as it was a bit breezy but we still had fantastic views.
The commentary about the local area was excellent
You’ve just got time for a quick snack at a café or a walk around Wareham before boarding the boat to return to Poole.
Great value for money. We will definitely book again
Loved it

Something different to do during school holidays and the skipper tried to keep the mood light hearted with a few jokes.
I think a few more different trips on offer would be good (but this could be Covid restrictions). This is the 2nd time we’ve been on a trip with Greenslade and enjoyed the variety that this offers to something else you would normally do.

Had a lovely trip round the harbour with my granddaughters. They had a brilliant time. I had no doubt as I took my children on the harbour trios many times. Excellent 5*

Really nice short trip around Poole harbour. Kind staff and interesting if limited commentary. Wrap up warm! It’s blinking chilly and not allowed below deck because of COVID.

Ño disrespect but if you are going to employ someone to give a commentary on an English boat tour please ensure the person can speak clearly in English. Basically I wasted £40 for 4 adults to float around the English channel. Definitely not a great experience

A great family run business. Staff are always happy to help answer questions about Poole and its history. A lovely way to explore around the beautiful harbour.
