Bristol Ferry Boats

Bristol Ferry Boats is a brand of water bus services operating around Bristol Harbour in the centre of the English city of Bristol, using a fleet of distinctive yellow and blue painted ferry boats. The services were formerly owned by the Bristol Ferry Boat Company, but are now the responsibility of Bristol Community Ferry Boats, a community interest company that acquired the fleet of the previous company.

The company operates scheduled ferry services, along with educational and public boat cruises and private hire of boats. Scheduled services operate on two routes linking Bristol city centre to Temple Meads railway station and Hotwells, serving 17 landing stages throughout the length of the harbour, including one at Brunel's famous SS Great Britain. Services are provided on a commercial basis without subsidy and are subject to competition. The company's principal competitor is Number Seven Boat Trips, who operate over similar routes.

Brigantia (2006)

The steel hulled enclosed launch Brigantia (also referred to as Brigantia of Bristol) was purpose built for Bristol Ferry, based on the design for Matilda but equipped with a retractable wheelhouse and a wheelchair lift.
