Customer Reviews
Where do I start. This was the 1st time we had used Jetstream Tours and will not be the last. On Sunday we did the Salute to the 40's tour to Chatham Dockyard. After a 2 hour leisurely cruise along the Medway, with an excellent and informative commentary from our skipper, we arrived at Chatham. Between the commentary some excellent 40's music was playing, getting us in the mood. We had a fantastic day in the Dockyard, with so much brilliant entertainment. It was such an enjoyable and moving experience. We departed Chatham for our cruise back to Southend, tired but happy. We arrived at the pier just as the sun was setting, beautiful. The boat and the crew are excellent and I can highly recommend Jetstream Tours.
A unique and fun way to experience the Thames Estuary Taking the Jetstream vessel from the end of Southend pier to Chatham historic dockyard for the 1940s event was an amazing experience which I highly recommend. The staff were very professional and provided a high level of safety and customer service. They also worked well with the Pier and Dockyard staff so the journey including pier train was seamless. It was comfortable and there was space to sit on deck or inside. Hot drinks were good and cheap. Perhaps, not for people who get sea sick as parts of the Estuary are like open sea.
We did the Red Sands Fort tour, which was excellent. The crew were really friendly with interesting and informative commentary along the way. The boat was bigger than expected with a nice seating area downstairs and a reasonably priced bar. The forts were spectacular and seeing the masts of the Montgomery on the way back was amazing. Would definitely recommend!
