We’ve been keeping busy getting people out on the water and enjoying some fantastic time afloat. Even better, the positive feedback has been absolutely fantastic it really makes all the hard work worthwhile

A huge thank you to everyone who has been out with us and taken the time to share your experiences. We love seeing people enjoying the water as much as we do

Here’s to plenty more adventures on the water

What a brilliant day on the water!

We welcomed our first official Fishing Family Charter aboard FreeSpirit, and it couldn't have gone much better. There were plenty of smiles, lots of laughter, a few fish caught, and most importantly, families spending quality time together away from the distractions of everyday life.

Watching parents and children share the excitement of catching fish, learning something new and simply enjoying being out on the water reminded us exactly why we created FreeSpirit. It's not just about fishing, it's about bringing people together, creating special memories and giving everyone the chance to experience the incredible wellbeing that comes from being at sea.

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us and made it such an enjoyable trip. We loved having you on board and can't wait to welcome many more families in the weeks and months ahead.

Here's to many more adventures together.

Some days remind you exactly why FreeSpirit exists.

We had the privilege of welcoming an amazing group of children with autism and their families onboard. From the moment the engines started the smiles, laughter, curiosity and excitement said it all.

For many, it was an opportunity to experience the sea in a way they never had before exploring the harbour, learning about boats and wildlife, and simply enjoying time in a safe, calm and supportive environment.

Every child experiences the world in their own unique way, and it was wonderful to see each of them discovering something special during their time on the water. Those magical moments of confidence, joy and connection are exactly what FreeSpirit is all about.

A huge thank you to everyone who helped make today possible, including our incredible volunteers, supporters and partners. Together, we're proving that the sea should be accessible to everyone.

These are the days that remind us that sometimes the simplest adventures create the biggest memories. ❤️

⚡🔌 "The wiring in the vessel — all hidden now."

Ross Honey talks in this short clip about a part of Free Spirit that virtually no one will ever see but that everything else depends on: the electrical and data wiring.

Behind every panel is hours of expert work . Every navigation instrument every safety system , every piece of onboard tech is only working because a skilled team spent hours running cable, planning routes, and getting it all fitted invisibly and professionally.

The best infrastructure is the kind you never notice. And this is some of the best.

Enormous thanks to everyone who put the hours in quietly, professionally, and completely out of sight.

✅⚓ "The rails keep people upright and on board the vessel."

Ross Honey 🎥 talks in this clip about a piece of safety equipment 🛠️ that rarely gets much attention — but makes an enormous difference to every trip we run: the rails on Free Spirit. 🚤

When we're taking out passengers who've often never been on a boat before 🌊 — adults with chronic illness 💙, young people facing mental health challenges 🧠, families new to the water 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 — having something to hold 🤲, to lean on, to steady yourself with, is the difference between confidence ✨ and fear. 😰

Not the most photogenic safety feature. 📸 Absolutely one of the most important. ✅⚓

❤️🙏 Thanks to the team who fitted every last one. 🛠️
