The Prince Regent

"The most luxurious boat for entertaining on the Inland Waterways"

We designed and built "The Prince Regent" especially for entertaining in Edwardian style and she was launched in 1990. Her lines are reminiscent of the steam powered Inspection Launches used for the Directors of the private canal companies, circa 1910. Her interior is richly finished with mahogany and ash paneling and oak flooring. An original Edwardian bar leads to a large saloon and spacious foredeck. Full central heating provides comfortable use at all times of year.

Our recommendations are:

Lapwing

"One of the earliest engine powered narrow boats in England"

Built as a working boat in 1913 for transporting goods, "Lapwing" is one of a unique small band of vintage boats still operating on the English Inland Waterways. She still has her original livery and boatman's decorated cans on the engine room roof. In 1999 we undertook a major refurbishment and she now has a mahogany paneled saloon, well stocked bar, central heating and a large open foredeck. She is available all year round and is ideal for smaller receptions, parties and exclusive dining.

Our recommendations are:

Charters with the Floating Boater

Charters are available all year round. The rates are for chartering the whole boat exclusively for your party and are based on starting and finishing at Little Venice. Quotations can be given for alternative pick-up points, one way cruises or all day cruises. 2 hours is the minimum booking. Cruises finish at midnight.
With cruises of 4 hours or more, an additional FREE half hour reception period is given.
