Short profile:
Hello I’m John Gallop, I own Island Charters B & B Floatels. I’ve worked with boats all my life and have enjoyed restoring both Newclose and Sea Wasp, along with many others over the years.
We are a small business run by my wife, Pauline and myself.
Detailed description:
Starting in 1980, originally chartering to divers, who wished to dive around the coastal waters of the Isle of Wight. There are many shipwrecks that have lain on the seabed, for centuries, which still cause much interest. When Newclose came out of service, I decided to turn her into a static accommodation barge, moored permanently on the water. It proved so popular with passing trade such as walkers and cyclists, that in 1991 I decided to convert another vessel, Sea Wasp, moored alongside. We are situated on a tidal creek, in the small village of Wootton bridge, which sits on the north coast of the Isle of Wight.
