Day hire

Everyone can get on the water – even if it’s just for a day, once in a while.

We’re surrounded by water so you never have to travel very far to find the sea, lake, river or canal. So finding some water for you to have an energising but relaxing day out is no problem.

Whether you are looking for a romantic day out with your partner, a family celebration or a hen or stag do, there is something for everyone and here’s some ideas:

  • Hire a narrow boat on a canal– and experience the adventure of mastering a lock or two, a great experience for the whole family
  • Step aboard a day boat on the Norfolk Broads and catch up with all the wildlife
  • Blast across the Solent on a Rigid Inflatable Boat (RIB) – just the thing for blowing the stresses away
  • Take to the River Thames, one of our most famous rivers, on a cruiser, electric launch or even a rowing boat
  • Get fit and get close to the water when you hire a canoe or kayak
  • Find out why so many people just live to sail when you explore the sea or a loch on a yacht with friends, don’t go home too early the sunsets are magical!
  • Feeling like a real treat? Why not hire a “James Bond” style power boat. You really can charter one of the luxury motor yachts which appear in the latest films
