Enjoy a holiday out on the waters of the River Thames with Le Boat's self-drive boating holidays. Take in the sights of south-east England with a self-paced river cruise, immersed in the ambience and doing as you please. And don't worry, you don't need any previous experience of handling a boat - you'll be taught everything you need to know by the friendly staff when you pick up your boat at the beginning of your holiday.
You might associate the Thames with central London, but on your self-paced boat voyage you'll find yourself traversing the more peaceful scenery of south-east England, all the way to Oxford. There are plenty of historic sights to see along the way, including Windsor Castle, Hampton Court Palace, and Cliveden House. Family fun abounds, with Legoland Windsor Resort, Chessington World of Adventures also along the route. And keen anglers can even go fishing from special designated spots along the way, with roach, perch, barbel, chub, pike or carp available to catch.
The stretch of the River Thames available for you to explore stretches from Kingston-upon-Thames in south-west London all the way to the city of Oxford. You'll start your journey from one of the two Le Boat bases along the river, one of which is situated in the town of Chertsey in Surrey, with the other in the village of Benson in South Oxfordshire (the address and location marked on the map below shows Le Boat's base in Chertsey).
