There are five small passenger ferries that operate around the Essex coast.

One of them carries passengers between Wallasea Island and Burnham-on-Crouch.

However in 2022, the operation was almost stopped following storm damage to the public pontoon on Burnham Quay.

Owners and operators, Michelle and Mark Philips took Owen for a ride across the River Crouch.

More information about the Burnham Ferry can be found on their website.
