What is Self-Drive Boat Hire?

Take the helm and lead your bride tribe on a watery adventure with our Self-Drive Boat Hire. Available on beautiful UK lakes, rivers, and calm coastal areas, this is a fantastic way to enjoy some privacy and see the sights at your own pace. No experience is necessary, as you'll be given a full briefing on how to operate the boat safely. Whether you choose a traditional motorboat or a quirky 'hot tub boat', it's a social and unique activity that allows you to bring your own music and snacks for a truly personalised voyage. It's a high-impact, low-stress way to enjoy the great outdoors.

Our self-drive boats are easy to operate and provide a safe and comfortable environment for your group. We choose locations with stunning scenery and plenty of spots to moor up for a picnic or a quick drink at a riverside pub. You'll be the master of your own itinerary, deciding where to stop and how long to stay. For the bride, it's a chance to feel like the captain of her own destiny! We provide all the safety equipment, including life jackets, and a map of the local waterways. It's a fantastic alternative to a larger group cruise, offering more intimacy and the fun of navigating the waters yourselves.

Frequently Asked Questions About Self-Drive Boat Hire

Do we need a boat license?

No, our self-drive boats are designed for beginners and do not require any license. We'll show you exactly how to operate the boat before you set off.

Can we bring alcohol on board?

Yes, but the 'captain' must remain sober to ensure everyone's safety. We recommend bringing a cool-box with your favourite drinks and snacks.

What happens if we get stuck?

We provide an emergency contact number and all our boats are equipped with GPS or simple navigation guides. We're always just a phone call away if you need assistance.
