MARITIME MERRIMENT AT MINIPORT LAKESIDE

I can safely assume you have come across Michael Josephson’s infamous expression that “You are the captain of your own ship; do not let anyone else take the wheel from you.” Well, that’s a truly inspirational quote that has guided and motivated many lives. However, what if I tell you that this expression is more than a life nugget! You can literally be the captain of your own ship. You heard correctly! At MiniPort Lakeside, you can be the owner of your own destiny! Let's zoom in on this beautiful oasis.

You will find MiniPort Lakeside Electric Boat Hire on the main lake along the walkway in front of the oh so tempting restaurants. All over the United Kingdom, this is the location where you will find the most popular and varied electric boat hire. And surprisingly, this feat is credited to the Lakeside even though they have only been in business for a mere ten years.

MiniPort has an extensive fleet of ships. Since 2011, when they began their maritime adventure, MiniPort have been committed to planting a permanent delightful smile on people’s faces, especially on the beautiful expressions of families and loved ones alike. Just in case you are interested in the more specific details, their boats can house up to five people. And guess what? You do not need to stress yourself trying to row or pedal nor panic because all their boats are electric. Simples. Since it is easy to navigate these boats, your children get to be the captain. You are the crew, but obviously make sure there is always, always, a responsible adult close by.

Now, it is essential to add that all MiniPort staff are on the ball and well trained to offer you the best of professional advice and service. Not only do they offer great advice, but they also guarantee your personal safety on each and every trip. Accessing their top-notch services is simple. You do not even need to book ahead. Just turn up and jump on board your hired boat!

MiniPort Lakeside is located at Lakeside shopping centre, 900 Arterial Rd West Thurrock, Essex, RM20 2ZS, United Kingdom MiniPort is open to you from 10 am to 6 pm. And you can come around during the weekdays, weekends, and school holidays. And with just £20, a family of five can have lots of fun for 30 minutes!

Nothing can beat messing about on the water. I loved every minute as the pictures show and the feeling of freedom and escape is wonderful in these times of entrapment and isolation. Get on board me hearties and rediscover the child that is hiding in all of us.

Very well presented, a good guide for anyone seeking information on the facility. Looks like a very nice day out for families or couples who want to get into practice for their ‘Round the World‘ boat adventure 😊
