Ralph Staley's film shows his family enjoying life aboard the Kingfisher. Daughter, Pam, wife Nellie and brother Robert, as well as an older man who could be the grandfather, are seen throughout the film playing in the water or on sandbanks when the tide is low. They also spend much time aboard the Kingfisher, calling at the village of Itchenor and chatting to the locals, at various points in the film. Several meals on board are filmed as is a large yacht race at the end of the film.
