Tonbridge River Excursions and More!

We launched our eco-friendly electric boat in April 2015. It offers relaxing guided cruises on the River Medway in Tonbridge, Kent. Also in April 2015, we reintroduced rowing boats for hire. During our season, you can enjoy river trips and rent rowing boats from the Big Bridge. Check the dates below.

Our electric launch, “Enid May”, takes you on scenic trips around Tonbridge. It’s ideal for capturing photos of the surroundings and wildlife. With a capacity of 12 passengers, the boat provides a safe and enjoyable experience for kids. Relax on a 50-minute river cruise or book a private trip. Either way, you’ll get up close to nature. Our skipper will also share local history along the way. The trip ends back at the castle.

2025

In 2025, we’ll continue to provide river trips. Wildlife experiences will still be available, along with rowing boat rentals. We’ll focus on what we do best. We prefer all trips to be pre-booked, especially wildlife experiences. Our easy online booking system makes this simple. However, we can accept some walk-ins if there’s space.

You can now book trips for 2025! If you can’t book online, just email or call us. We’re here to help you with your booking.

We regret to say that due to rising costs, we must raise our prices. This is the first increase since 2015.

Rowing boats will stay a turn-up-and-go service. If it’s busy, we’ll take your number. Then, you can go for a walk or grab a coffee. We’ll call you when your boat is ready.
