Start planning …
Return to the ‘Age of Sail’ when the Dockyard built mighty ships that mastered the world’s oceans. Test your sea legs as you marvel at HMS Ocelot, a Cold War Submarine; explore HMS Cavalier, a Second World War Destroyer; walk the deck of HMS Gannet, our Victorian Sloop. Watch our Master Ropemakers at work using centuries old techniques on in our Ropery.
Let your hearts set sail through the tides of history. A fantastic day out in Kent awaits.
That is why you have a perfect opportunity to read only the most interesting facts from the history and of course try free demo slots. We have a number of guided tours and talks for everyone, all included in the price of admission. All excursions are booked upon arrival. To book your tour, once you have checked your ticket, go down the ramp to the Plan Your Visit area. A member of our team will make reservations for your chosen excursion. We have several time options throughout the day, but to avoid disappointment, please make your reservations as soon as you arrive.
