Harbour Trip

The Matthew of BristolThe Matthew of Bristol is a replica of the 15th-century caravel that John Cabot sailed from Bristol to Newfoundland in 1497. In 1997 she sailed across the Atlantic once more to mark the 500th anniversary of the historic voyage. Today, The Matthew is a much-loved part of Bristol’s maritime heritage. Moored at Princes Wharf in Bristol's historic Floating Harbour, The Matthew has a busy schedule of public boat trips, film and festival work, corporate and celebratory events. The ship is also open to visitors when we’re moored at the quayside – entry is free and you can come aboard, look around, climb the steps to the upper decks and have a chat with our knowledgeable guides!
