There are five small passenger ferries that operate around the Essex coast.
One of them carries passengers between Wallasea Island and Burnham-on-Crouch.
However in 2022, the operation was almost stopped following storm damage to the public pontoon on Burnham Quay.
Owners and operators, Michelle and Mark Philips took Owen for a ride across the River Crouch.
More information about the Burnham Ferry can be found on their website.
If you've got a story, Owen would like to hear from you! Email essexbytheseapodcast@gmail.com
