Bristol Packet Boat Trips

Bristol Packet Boat Trips is a limited company offering public and charter excursions in Bristol Harbour and on the River Avon. The company has four boats: the river launch ''Tower Belle'', narrowboat ''Redshank'', glass-topped ''Bagheera'' and locally built ''Flower of Bristol''. The company also has an interest in Bristol Hydrogen Boats which has commissioned and built a hydrogen powered ferry boat.
==History==
The Bristol Packet was founded in 1973 by Nick and Corrina Gray. At that time there were no passenger boats operating in the city docks or on the river Avon, the last services had been offered by the ''Kingstonian'' in the 1960s. The docks were semi-derelict and there were few visitors. Trips were initially offered around the docks on the narrowboat ''Redshank'', which along with her accompanying butty ''Greenshank'', had been brought from the Midlands by the Grays. Nick offered "interesting, anecdotal commentaries which added some depth and interest to the trips", according to the ''Bristol Post''.〔
In 1976 the river launch ''Tower Belle'' was brought to Bristol enabling trips upstream to Hanham and downstream to the Avon Gorge. Avon Gorge trips had not been available to the public since the demise of P & A Campbells in the 1970s. The Grays eventually sold the company in 1980.〔 Tickets for boat trips were sold from a 1910 showman's wagon at Wapping Wharf.〔
In 1995, The Bristol Packet commenced operations on the Flower of Bristol, enabling a further extension of the evening charter business. The most recent addition, in 2002, to the company's fleet was Amsterdam built sightseeing boat ''Bagheera''.
