About

The Swansea Community Boat 'Copper Jack' offers a truly unique opportunity for both visitors to Swansea and locals alike to take a trip up the historic River Tawe.

River Trips:
On our gentle 90-minute boat trip, sit back and relax to discover Swansea's historic, industrial heritage and how it became known as Copperopolis, while viewing the passing scenery and river bank wildlife.

Copper Jack:
Our boat, “Copper Jack” can carry up to 40 passengers for Public Sailings and is available to hire for celebrations, parties, corporate and group bookings as Private Charters.
A selection of coffees, teas, soft drinks, and snacks are available as well as a fully licensed bar to sell alcohol.
Copper Jack is fully accessible with a wheelchair lift and accessible toilet.

Floating Classroom:
As a Floating Classroom we welcome schools from around the area at hugely discounted prices for an enlightening educational experience.

Live Music:
If you enjoy live music, why not join us on one of our fabulous live music events in a venue that is unique to Swansea.
Whichever music event you chose, you are guaranteed an absolutely brilliant time on “Copper Jack”.
