Bookings
All bookings for 6 persons and under are done via the booking enquiry below. For groups of 7 or more see the group section below. We do not take bookings over the phone.
On weekends and Bank Holidays we happily take bookings but with good weather we busy up fast, and can even become fully booked.
With afternoon booking – We just ask you to be aware there may be a wait, we do our very best to get boats back on time for your booking but we don’t guarantee the time as morning boaters can be late back if the weather is fantastic. (This happens very rarely).
If the weather is good we will be busy no matter the day of the week, it is best to book a few days in advance for sunny days especially for weekends.
Group Bookings
If you are a group of 7 or more we ask you to contact us directly via the contact page (or email – [email protected]) We only offer punting for adult parties of 7 or more. In you enquiry email include the following: A start time, duration – 1 or 2 hour slot, how many persons and what date you would like.
For all group bookings we require a deposit of £10.00 per person payable by bank transfer to cover the first hours hire. This is non-refundable unless the river is flooded.
Boating still goes ahead whatever the weather, just bring a brolly or a rain coat!
Please note we are closed Mondays and Tuesdays so no admin is done.
We do not allow stag parties. We do not tolerate drunk or disorderly behaviour. If you turn up intoxicated we have the right to refuse you. If you are disrespectful of the boats we will ask you to bring the boats back in. If you are refused or asked to come back deposits will not be refunded.
Book with us
We require two 18-year-old adults minimum to a boat. Children are classed as 15 and under and are required to wear life jackets.
We have a minimum age of 1 year for children, for healthy and safety reasons children younger cannot go.

Our booking site is based off average sized adults, for more info on weight limits and boat sizing see FAQs at the bottom of the home page.
Flooding
If the river floods boat hire will be cancelled for the day. All large groups that have left deposits will be refunded or offered a date to rebook.
All groups/bookings will be notified via the email you booked on. We will also instantly updated on instagram confirming we are flooded – so please do check this the morning of a booking if you are unsure. Instagram @bathboatingstation.
Sometimes (very rare) flooding can happen unexpectedly overnight, if this happens we will do our best to notify everyone and post an update on instagram immediately.
