TWO Worcester-based skippers are navigating a niche in the market as they launch a river cruise business on the Severn.
Phil Evans and Mike Jones, of Bewdley, decided to offer day trips on their 1930s gentleman's cruiser The Silver Mist after a tip-off from the Tourist Information Office.
After being told that the office receives many requests for sedate river cruises, the pair are offering a wide variety of different trips.
"There is nothing like this on offer in Worcester and it seems a shame that people are missing out on a nice, relaxing experience in beautiful surroundings," said Mr Evans.
"This isn't all a money-making exercise, we want to encourage people to use our lovely river more," he added.
Anyone interested in booking one of the cruises should contact Worcester Tourist Information Office on 01905 726311.
