Discerning Sailors, we bid you farewell.

We have taken the decision to close both The Prince Regent & The Grand Duchess in Paddington. Ceasing our boat operations for the foreseeable futurer.

For almost 9 years we've floated, sailed and served. Feasting on the water. Substantial increases in maintenance and overhead costs combined with turbulent trading conditions have made this decision inevitable. We can't change the wind, but we can adjust the sails.

We will now focus our attention on our Swain's Lane fishmonger site and landlubber activities. Swain's Lane continues to go from strength to strength and we're looking forward to developing this concept and seeing where the next adventure takes us.

It's been an honour. The the biggest trip of our lives, the greatest thing any of us have achieved in our still fledgling careers. But most importantly, it's been a boat load of fun. We raise a glass to you and to everyone that has ever clambered aboard these vessels. We built these businesses from scratch and have been helped along the way by too many to mention. You all know who you are because you're stitched into the fabric of our lives.

So many wonderful people have boarded our boats over the years. Whether to eat and drink or work and play, we thank you for your support and service. Thank you for celebrating your successes, your birthdays, your weddings and everything in between with us. The memories are etched in our hearts forever.

If you have a little piece of the boats forever anchored in your hearts, we hope you find some time to come and visit us on Swain's Lane.

Old sailors never die, they just fade away.
