Nick Gibb met Robert and Fiona Boyce at Littlehampton Ferry this week and spent an hour taking the ferry up the River Arun.
The boat is a Suntracker 22 Party Barge Pontoon Boat imported from Florida and is the only one in the UK.
Nick Gibb said, “One of Littlehampton’s key features is that it is a seaside town that also has a river. The aquamarine blue River Arun is a major draw for the area and ventures like the Littlehampton Ferry allow people to see and use the river. The Ferry not only provides a convenient and fun way to cross the river, it also runs trips up and down the Arun. I hope the Littlehampton Ferry is here for many years to come.”
