Sun Set Sail
Sail into the Sun Set
Service Description
Looking for the perfect way to end the day? Why not board the Argovia and sail off into the sunset! Get yourself comfy and enjoy the peaceful tranquillity of the twilight hours as we drift with the wind up the River Colne. Starling murmuration is a spectacular phenomenon often witnessed when soaking up the Golden Hour during the Autumn and Winter months.

We reserve the right to cancel before departure or terminate during the charter due to: Unsafe weather/sea conditions or mechanical issues (force majeure). Safety concerns, bad behaviour, intoxication, or policy violations. If we cancel before departure for operational/safety reasons (and not due to guest misconduct), you may choose a reschedule (subject to availability) or a full refund of amounts paid. If we terminate during the charter for safety reasons unrelated to guest misconduct, we will offer a pro‑rated refund or reschedule (at our discretion).

Less than 7 days / no‑show / late arrival: No refund. Late Arrival & No‑Shows: Charters depart on time. Late arrival may shorten your trip or be treated as a no‑show with no refund.
