Day Boat 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
What does it cost to hire a Boat?
Like all outdoor activities the prices change depending on the
