The original owners, Nelson and Maureen Girdlestone, were instrumental in pioneering the boat trip and yacht charter industry from the very inception of the Waterfront. With an undying passion for boating in general, the Girdlestones have been pivotal in the development of this industry and by using their vessels and the ocean, have created an extension of the Waterfront, moulding it to what it is today.
This company has been operating under the name of Waterfront Boat Company since 2000.
