# The Matthew of Bristol

> The ship that put North America on the map

The Matthew is located in the heart of Bristol’s city centre, moored in the historic Floating Harbour, next to the M Shed museum. She is a much-loved part of Bristol’s maritime heritage with a busy schedule of public boat trips, film and festival work, corporate and celebratory events.

Our public trips include:
Harbour Trips: Sail around Bristol's historic Floating Harbour and experience the city from the water.
Fish & Chips Trips: Enjoy a relaxing cruise with fish and chips on board The Matthew as she sails around Bristol’s historic Floating Harbour.
Avon Gorge Cruises: A three to four hour trip down the River Avon, under the Clifton Suspension Bridge and along the Avon Gorge.

You can book tickets for one of our public trips or hire us for your special event via our website. If you're wandering around the harbourside, visit us and explore the ship for free! You can come aboard, look around, climb the steps to the upper decks, and have a chat with our knowledgeable guides - check our website for opening hours.

We also have gift vouchers available – treat that special someone to a trip aboard The Matthew!
