About

Luxury private boat charter aboard our fleet of stunning Thames launches. There is no better way to experience the wonderful views of riverside homes, historic venues and of course Windsor Castle than from the river.

‘Dragonfly’ is an exquisitely varnished launch operating from Monkey Island Estate. The perfect vessel for celebrating a special occasion, transfer to a riverside restaurant with pre-dinner drinks or simply whiling away some time on these beautiful reaches of the River Thames. Full cover can be provided in the event of rain with the heated cabin a popular option during the cooler months.

‘Midsomer Maiden’ is a more modern vessel based on the traditional Thames launches that were so popular in this area. Midsomer Maiden is moored at Bray Marina and benefits from a large forward cockpit, offering sociable seating for everyone onboard. Popular for birthdays, anniversaries and hen parties she is often found cruising between Marlow and Windsor.

As the only passengers onboard our expert skippers will tailor the trip to you – whether you wish to experience the Cliveden Reach which provided the inspiration for ‘Wind in the Willows’, marvel at the stunning riverside homes of Bray or discover the best view of Windsor Castle from the river.

Bring your own food and drink or let us take care of it for you with inclusive drinks, brunch, lunch or afternoon tea packages available.

Alternative pickup locations are available, please get in touch to discuss your trip. Each of our vessels are equipped with a small galley and toilet with a capacity of 2-12 passengers – larger groups can be catered for across a flotilla of multiple boats.
