With that the 2025 season comes to a close (unless half term weather plays kindly!)
We have loved every experience from Chatham, Eastbourne, Oostende and of course Dover. Now our team rests and resets - then here’s to 2026!

Today, Elspeth joined Amy on her soon-to-be-launched podcast, Exploring Inclusive Tourism. A brilliant new platform shining a light on how we can make tourism more accessible for everyone.

At Wetwheels South East, we’re passionate about breaking down barriers so that every experience we offer is truly inclusive — whether those barriers are physical, financial, or otherwise.

We’re proud to be part of the conversation about making tourism in Dover, Kent and the wider community open and welcoming to all.

Stay tuned — we’ll share the release date as soon as the episode goes live!

It’s time for a service! Today (in the pouring rain), we were lifted out ready for our Suzuki Marine UK engine service.

Port of Dover

We slipped lines in Dover at 5am this morning, setting off later than planned due to the weather. The wait was worth it – we’ve been rewarded with the most spectacular experiences all day!

✨ First up, we welcomed Aztec Day Services on board for a wonderful River Experience. Guests took the helm and explored the River Medway – even sneaking in a cheeky sail past Chatham Maritime Trust whose ongoing support helps us return each year to provide accessible boating from Chatham Maritime Marina. We made sure they heard us as we waved and cheered!

⚓ The real highlight? A trip out to the Maunsell Forts. These eerie yet ethereal giants never fail to impress – a humbling reminder of history standing tall out at sea.

🌅 As the sun sets on our first day, we’re ready to do it all again this weekend – bringing more smiles, more adventures, and more memories on the water.
