Things to do in London, England: The Best Boat Tours & Water Sports

We have 2 boats for hire for parties and one for sightseeing cruises on the Regent's Canal. Our larger boat, Freda seats up to 42 and Lapwing and Joan seat up to 12. Meet at Granary Square, King's Cross for a trip through a lock to either Camden or enter the 200 year old, underground Islington Tunnel which is only accessible by boat and leafy Islington. Bring alcohol, food and music. In the event of rain or cold weather the boat has transparent covers.

'Tarporley' is a 1937 working boat which has been converted and run in London as Camden’s community narrowboat for over thirty years. Skippered cruises on 'Tarporley' are available to all groups from charities, clubs and schools to businesses and private parties (we can take a maximum of 12 people). So that we can continue to meet our costs, and make Tarporley available to disadvantaged groups and others all year round, the hire-fees for private bookings are higher, effectively subsidising customers from community groups. N. B. Tarporley is an historic vessel; she can only be handled safely with skill and experience, and she is therefore not available to hire on a self-steer basis, so why not let us show you

The Hot Tub Boat is a 3.8m x 2m wood fired floating hot tub, heated at an invigorating 38C of fresh water which ‘HotTubbers’ can operate by themselves and is powered by an electric engine.

Cook your own BBQ while you sail down the central London canals and is for upto 10 people! Make a booking now!

We are a charity run entirely by volunteers providing trips on a historic canal narrowboat, 'Tarporley', for the benefit of people living or working in Camden (and adjoining areas), especially those who are disadvantaged economically or socially. We were set up in 1996 and are based at Kings Cross on the Regents Canal. Groups book the whole boat for trips of a few hours, a full day or longer.
