The Boat Hire Company | Fringilla

About

The Boat Hire Company provide luxury, skippered private boat hire and boat tours in Windsor, Bray and Maidenhead; accommodating anything from 2 to 12 passengers. Our vintage river boats can be hired by the hour or for a full day and are a great way to see some of the greatest sites the historic River Thames has to offer, including:

-    Unrivalled views of Windsor Castle
-    Royal Windsor Racecourse
-    St Mary Magdalene Church (redundant 12th century church)
-    Eton College Boat House
-    Oakley Court Hotel (a gothic mansion famed for featuring in numerous horror films)
-    Bray Film Studios
-    Monkey Island Estate

We work closely alongside many prestigious local venues including Oakley Court Hotel, Monkey Island Estate, Cliveden House Hotel, Windsor Racecourse and The Waterside Inn, Bray, providing boat hire for both corporate away days, team building, wedding receptions, pre-dinner cruises, photo shoots and sight seeing tours.

Our boats operate in all weathers and offer fully enclosed heated indoor saloon areas with seating, as well as boasting additional seating on our fully open rear sun decks. We are able to organise catering for your trip but are also happy for guests to provide their own food and drink onboard without additional charge.
