These times are Start and Finish times at the Conwy jetty and may be subject to change for operational reasons.
If for any reason the club launch is not operating on a day during the summer programme the harbour office will provide a backup service by arrangement.
The Harbour office back up service will start on Tuesday 28th of April 2010 unit the laying up party in October. The service will be provided between 0930 and 1600 (last trip) when there is adequate depth of water on the fuel pontoon. It is not an on demand service. Persons wishing to use it should enquire as to the times of availability at the Harbour Office. ( 01492 596253)

A Launch Drivers Plea,
Please, Please: Do Use a VHF Radio to call the Launch on Ch.37 (M) - Call sign: “Cruising Club Launch”
Do not stand on the jetty hoping that the launch will appear.
Tourists do this and the operator is not going to run the launch needlessly just to identify who is standing on the jetty.
Club Members: Forgot your handheld? – Use the radio in the Club.
Once on board, keep a listening watch on Channel 37 and try as far as possible to coordinate your trips to and fro with other users in your area.
There is nothing more frustrating, and I speak as launch driver, than getting back to the jetty from the far reaches of the river and receiving a call to collect someone in the area you have just come from, furthermore it is not economical.
2010 LAUNCH CHARGES:
Payments will be made by cash .
Payments will be made per round trip. Please pay the driver before starting your journey. Trips between pontoons/other moorings will require a payment for a round trip.
Please remember No payment, No ride..
NWCC MEMBERS and GUESTS - £1.50 per person per round trip.
(Proof of membership will be requested on the launch)
VISITING BOAT CREWS will be charged at member’s rates.
NON - MEMBERS - £3.00 per person per round trip.
NOTE - The operator is entitled to lunch/rest breaks, so please plan your trips accordingly. If you forget, as I have done, spend lunch time in the bar!
Coffee and Tea is available as well as other drinks!
Avoid low water as on larger tides there may not be any water at the end of the jetty.
The timetable will also be displayed in the club house window and on the notice boards. |
