School bookings
Private charter Cruises
We offer a special 2-hour charter price for schools for a morning trip Monday – Friday.
To ensure that your group is well looked after, the boat has a crew of three: two boating experts and one galley crew. One member of the crew is a qualified boat master, in charge of the crew, and responsible for passenger safety.
Our horse-drawn barge, Kennet Valley, is licensed to carry 64 passengers, but if food is being served, the maximum is 53 passengers.
