Boating in Windsor

Windsor is a beautiful historic town with so much to offer – the perfect spot for a UK break away from ever-lively central London.

If you’ve had your fill of Windsor’s historic castles, chapels, and houses, why not hire a boat and hit the Thames for a memorable afternoon on the water? Check the river conditions online before you plan your day, then book your boat trip or rental and get ready to set sail. There are several options for your boating experience in Windsor, from private boat hire to restaurant cruises and even self-drive boat rental. Here, we bring you some of the best options.

Private Boat Hire

Private Boat Hire

If you’re interested in private boat hire while you’re in Windsor, look to Fringilla Boat Services. Fringilla operates five beautiful boats on the River Thames, perfect for intimate journeys between riverside restaurants and hotels. 
Visiting Windsor for Henley Regatta, Henley Festival, or an event at Royal Windsor Racecourse? Enjoy riverside events from your own private boat or hire one of the fleet for an afternoon of relaxation on the water. 
You can choose from classic and modern river cruisers, all furnished and finished to the highest standard.
Boat Trips

Boat Trips

If you want to enjoy an afternoon or evening of boating with a larger party, or you’re happy to share your experience with others, choose a non-private boat trip. 
French Brothers is a family run business which was established in 1978, offering both short trips and whole-day cruises. Whichever tour you embark upon, you’re guaranteed excellent views of the iconic Windsor Castle. 
Restaurant Cruises

Restaurant Cruises

For the ultimate luxury experience, choose a restaurant cruise and enjoy your time upon the Thames with a delicious, freshly prepared contemporary meal. 
Bateaux Windsor is a unique dining experience, and a truly memorable way to celebrate an engagement, birthday, or special anniversary. The vessel itself, The Willow Room, is beautifully crafted and newly refurbished, with arched windows providing an unobstructed view of the landscape.

Self-drive Boats

A final way to enjoy the excitement of boating in Windsor is from a small, private, self-drive boat. Choose a bright motorboat or rowing boat from John Logie Motorboats and make your way between their docks. 
A self-drive boat is perfect for parties with children or those who want to enjoy a more hands-on boating experience in Windsor.
