Skuna Boats

It’s a boat ride but it’s probably not what you’re expecting. Take a unique and relaxing cruise on the Thames with Skuna Boats. This is modern boat hire that’s all about having a good time. A cruise with Skuna Boats is suitable for families and groups of friends – all you have to decide is whether you want a boating barbecue or would rather drift along in your own floating hot tub.

A Skuna Boats experience sailing from Canary Wharf takes two hours, including a check-in and safety briefing. After a quick practice you can set sail on a self-drive electric boat along the whole route. You’re welcome to drink alcohol during the journey but every boat must have a sober designated driver. If you don’t fancy hiring a whole boat you can join a shared boat for special trips like a guided tour or sunset cruise.

Skuna’s bbq boats are suitable for all ages so they’re a great family day out. Each boat is equipped for a barbecue and you can bring your own food or order a food package provided by Barge East. Both meaty and vegan packages are on offer. You can have hot water bottles and blankets if you’re sailing in autumn or winter. Alternatively, relax in style on a hot tub boat. The water is heated to 38 degrees and changed after each trip. Kick back in the water, enjoy a couple of drinks, and see London from a new angle. Kids aged 12+ are welcome when accompanied by an adult on the hot tub boat. There are plenty of Thames cruises out there but Skuna Boats offers something with a difference.
