We currently have two generations of the Clark family working alongside many dedicated and long-serving members of staff. We are proud members of Visit England & British Marine National Boat Quality Grading Scheme.
We have 14 holiday boats to choose from and all of them have been awarded a grading of either 4 or 5 stars, and for the very best boats in our fleet with a superior finish, we call them our 5 Star Elite boats.
Maintained to the highest of standards, our fleet of full- equipped luxury holiday boats on the River Thames sleep from 2 to 10 people. You can explore the whole 124-mile length of the River Thames passing through towns such as Hampton Court, Cookham, Henley, Abingdon, Oxford and right up to Lechlade in Gloucestershire. They are available to hire from as little as £683 for a 3-night short break or from £975 for a 1-week holiday.
To complement our holiday boats, we have a fleet of 24 day boats seating from 2 to 12 people. Our day boats are fitted with a music system where you can connect your mobile or audio device via Bluetooth or Aux cable. We have both diesel and electric powered day boats and during a one day's cruise upstream, you will see Windsor Castle, Eton, Windsor Racecourse, before passing the village of Bray and a little way farther on Maidenhead with its memories of Edwardian punting heydays. At the limit of your cruising range are Boulter's Lock and the beech-wooded heights of Cliveden.
Throughout the greater part of your trip the Round Tower of Windsor Castle remains a still and familiar landmark. Cruising downstream will take you past historic Runnymede with its many associations: Magna Carta, the memorial to President Kennedy and, atop Cooper's Hill, the memorial to the Commonwealth Air Forces. The river winds on past the London Stone marking the former limit of jurisdiction of the City of London, down to the busy town of Staines and then on to Laleham where riverside homes and bungalows front the meadows which once surrounded Laleham Abbey.
Whether you are planning a pub or restaurant for lunch or packing your favourite food for a picnic on the riverbanks, our day boats are available to hire from as little as £35 for one hour to a whole day starting from £150 for up to 6 people. We are ideally positioned less than 1.5 miles from Windsor and a 10-minute taxi ride from Heathrow Airport.
