Nothing beats hopping aboard a boat to give you that “get away from it all” feeling, however close to home you may be.
And every summer since 2005 when Broadgate Homes and South Holland Council paired up to launch the Spalding water taxis, anyone who fancies a short river trip has been able to get afloat any time between Easter and the end of October.
You can expect to catch a taxi roughly every 30 minutes from 10am to 5pm Monday to Saturday and from 11am to 5pm on Sundays.
It will cost you £3 per person, regardless of age, either way, and £6 for a return ticket.
The taxi boats are offered for private charter, available any day of the year – daytime or evening.
With capacity for 12 people at a time, they’re a good deal for two or more families to take together.
