About

The Boat Hire Company provide luxury, skippered boat hire and boat tours between Windsor 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 River Thames has to offer including unrivalled views of Windsor Castle, Windsor Racecourse, Dorney Rowing Lake, Oakley Court Hotel, Bray Studios, Monkey Island Estate and many houses of the rich and famous – to name but a few. We offer pick up and drop off points in central Windsor, Bray and Maidenhead as well as having access to moorings at a number of local hotels and restaurants.

Our boats operate in all weathers and offer fully enclosed heated indoor saloon areas with seating as well as boasting additional seating on our open rear sun decks. All our boats also offer toilet facilities, small kitchen areas, hot and cold running water and sound systems.

We can cater for a variety of events including:

-    Sightseeing Tours
-    Restaurant Transfers
-    Hotel Transfers
-    Team Building Events
-    Corporate Hospitality
-    Weddings
-    Afternoon Tea Cruises
-    Hen Parties
-    Birthday and Anniversary Celebrations

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.
