Finding The Ship In Port
Google Map (below)

The exact location of Trinovante is finalised only on arrival in port. Assuming we have internet coverage, we then email the joining crew and update the Google Map below. This map gives you enough information to plan your travel and familiarise yourself with the area but remember we may be on a different pontoon or quay on the day. You can always phone us to check.

Find Trinovante Using AIS

You can also follow Trinovante on AIS, which will give an accurate location of our position in port. Vessel Finder is just one web site that provides free AIS ship tracking. Many of our crew now use AIS apps on their smartphones to find us.

We do our very best to provide accurate travel information on this page, but it is not guaranteed to be correct or up to date. Travel options mentioned are not the only options available and do not necessarily represent the best, cheapest, most convenient, reliable, secure, safest or quickest options for you. You are solely responsible for arranging your travel to and from Trinovante. SchoonerSail accepts no responsibility for the use of travel information on this web site.

If you find any errors in this travel information or have a tip to contribute that would be useful for your fellow crew we would be delighted if you let us know.
