Electric Lauches Hire Details

Please call 01789 267073 to check availability if you are unable to book.
*Please note that we operate a one slot – 45-minute time limit for our boat hires. This is due to the presence of weeds growing upstream that can affect the propellers of our boats.
While we strive to provide a wonderful boating experience for our customers, we must also take precautions to ensure the safety and maintenance of our boats by limiting the distance they can travel.
We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in helping us with this.
The Launches will be allocated on an adhoc basis. For further information see our Terms and Conditions.
