Keeping Safe This Summer On The River
This summer is a little different on The Thames. We have made some changes to the way we operate for your safety and comfort as well as that of our crews. We want everyone to enjoy the fresh river air and relax with time to take in the beauty of the tranquil Thames. Our downloadable guide to keeping safe can be found here. We have also highlighted key points below. If at any time you are unsure or feel you need assistance please don’t hesitate to speak to the skipper or crew on your vessel – they are they for your safety.
At the current time we are unable to allow pushchairs and buggies onboard. You are welcome to leave them on the pier at your own risk.

A Tonic For The Soul in Wind in the Willows Country
Ratty, Mole and Toad were on to something when they made their home by the tranquil Thames. What could be better than a gentle cruise around the twist and turns of Wind in the Willows country, fresh air, riverside homes that give way to nature and distant views mixed with secret islands and the rushing water of Mapledurham Weir. Come and join us, take a break and enjoy the Thames.
