Private Boat Hire operates five boats on the River Thames offering you perfect venues for small birthday parties, wedding anniversaries, corporate drinks receptions or carriage to and from the local riverside hotels and restaurants such as The Boathouse at Boulters, The Waterside Inn, The Fat Duck, The Hinds Head, The Crown, Mediterranean at Bray Marina, Oakley Court, Sir Christopher Wren’s Hotel and Spa, Gogos, Cliveden and lots in Marlow.
The boats are also the perfect venue to enjoy one of the organised riverside events such as Henley Regatta, Henley Festival or horse racing at Royal Windsor Racecourse.
All of the boats are fully weather proofed, centrally heated if necessary and are able to operate at all of the best riverside hotels and restaurants.
Fringilla, Sula and Kingfisher are ideal for 12 passengers but if you have a larger party of up to 36, please contact us about chartering a second or third boat. Larus and Dragonfly are able to keep 8 people together either in the sun on the rear deck of Larus, or around the bow on Dragonfly.
FRINGILLA
Classic Dutch cruiser Fringilla is based in Maidenhead and cruises between Windsor and Marlow passing along some of the most beautiful parts of the upper Thames. If you board at Maidenhead and take a two-hour trip you will see either the Cliveden Reach, with its restored period cottages and National Trust gardens, and Bray with its beautiful riverside houses and The Waterside Inn or you could go downstream to see the houses and pass through Bray Lock to see Monkey Island Hotel, Bray Film Studios and Oakley Court and back.
LARUS
Larus is a beautiful classic 28 foot Super Kaag Kruiser built in 1967 with a very large rear cockpit, which can be open or covered, as well a varnished mahogany internal saloon area.
Larus is based at Bray Marina and cruises between Maidenhead and Windsor.
In 4 hours you could go upstream, past Monkey Island, through Bray Lock, past The Waterside Inn and a mile of beautiful riverside houses to Maidenhead then back down past Bray Film Studios, Oakley Court, Windsor Marina, through Boveney Lock past Windsor Racecourse, to see Windsor Castle and back.
You can hire Larus by the hour and she is very popular for birthdays, anniversaries and family get-togethers.
SULA
Sula is 33 feet and offers a rear sundeck, a very large saloon area with sliding roof for those long, hot summer days. Sula is also based in Bray Marina and cruises between Maidenhead and Windsor.
Sula is a modern Dutch river cruiser built in 1992. She has the benefit of all mod cons including central heating, a comfortable onboard toilet and galley with hot and cold water.
She has an open rear deck and large sliding roof to the saloon; this enables passengers to enjoy the clement weather or shelter from the occasional shower.

Dragonfly is probably the most beautiful charter boat on the Thames and is based at Monkey Island Hotel. She is perfectly positioned to cruise between Marlow and Windsor, an area that includes The Compleat Angler Hotel, Cliveden, The Waterside Inn, The Hinds Head, The Fat Duck, Bray Cottages, Oakley Court and Windsor.
Dragonfly is 31 feet long and is ideal for up to 8 people with champagne and canapes en route to a top quality restaurant or hotel or for coffee after lunch. Dragonfly is weatherproof, has hot and cold water, a W.C. and central heating in case of cold weather.
KINGFISHER
Kingfisher is a Dutch Aquanaut built in 2010. She is licensed for 12 passengers and is based in the beautiful riverside town of Marlow. She is perfect for family parties or small corporate trips.
