Boat Hire in Bedford

Due to vessel stability and insurance conditions we strictly limit this to 4 people per boat, this number includes infants & smaller children

To hire a boat on your own, you need to be over the age of 16.

Riders under the age of 16 must have consent given by a guardian who is with them. Said guardian will need to sign the hire agreement. Management will asses each group individually with a view on safety and suitability and have the right to decline hire based on this. All riders need to be 12 months or older to board.

Provided that you haven't broken the rules etc, if you paid your deposit in cash it will be returned to you when your hire is finished. If you paid on Card, it is possible that refunds may take 48 hours to appear back on your account, although funds are often cleared for the next day. 

No. Please do not consume anything except water when riding. 

Yes. Please clean up any hair and other dog related 'mess' before you get back to the jetty. Be sure you keep your dog on a lead for the duration of your hire. Wildlife such as swans have priority and should not be distressed by dogs. Life jackets for dogs are not available. 

No sorry. Staff are on hand for safety when loading and un loading. They can guide you if you are new to rowing but will not be able to board the boat with you.
