Visitors' book

“One of the most fascinating attractions we have ever visited - with plenty to see! We were made to feel very welcome right from the start. The gentleman handing us our audio handsets was very friendly and courteous - indeed, he provided the nicest handover of an audioguide we've ever known! We actually thought he must have worked on the yacht previously. What an amazing insight into an awe-inspiring lifestyle. The tour is easy to follow and you're able to sit down in parts of the yacht that you wouldn't expect. Hats off to the team who maintain Britannia. A very worthwhile visit which made us feel proud of our heritage.”
