Motor Boats & Rowing Boats are available on a first come first served basis with a queue system in place and there is no pre-booking at this time.

Electric Launches “Elver” and “Flying Duck” are available to pre-book online up to 24 hours before and gaps in bookings can be taken on the day on a first come first served basis.

Large Canoes and Cambridge Punts are available to be pre-book online up to 24 hours before, please see the relevant pages to book yours now.

We have your safety and our staff’s safety in mind at all times, so please expect to be asked to wait in a designated place.

Throughout the hire process please be patient and listen to all instructions given by staff.

All of our hire boats and life jackets will be sanitised between uses which may mean that you have to wait a little longer than usual before being invited to a boat and we thank you for your patience.
