COVID-19 Information - Updated 5th January 2021
During the national lockdown, we are operating essential boating only. There is no scheduled boating at this time. All boating must be booked in advance by telephoning 01720 423373 or emailing us. Please note: the office is open Monday - Friday 8:30 am - 5 pm only.
Please familiarise yourself with our Safe Travel Information before you travel. Face coverings are mandatory on all Tresco Boat Services and hand sanitiser will be provided on boarding.
On booking, you will be asked to confirm that your reason for travel complies with the government lockdown restrictions, which are summarised below:
You must not leave your home unless you have a reasonable excuse (for example, for work or education purposes). If you need to travel you should stay local – meaning avoiding travelling outside of your village, town or the part of a city where you live – and look to reduce the number of journeys you make overall. The list of reasons you can leave your home and area include, but are not limited to:
- work, where you cannot reasonably work from home
- accessing education and for caring responsibilities
- visiting those in your support bubble – or your childcare bubble for childcare
- visiting hospital, GP and other medical appointments or visits where you have had an accident or are concerned about your health
- buying goods or services that you need, but this should be within your local area wherever possible
- outdoor exercise. This should be done locally wherever possible, but you can travel a short distance within your area to do so if necessary (for example, to access an open space)
- attending the care and exercise of an animal, or veterinary services
