Relax, cruise away from the pressures of work and phone for a few hours, on board one of our Day Boats. Experience life at the leisurely pace of four miles per hour. These boats must be booked in advance. We also offer hourly hire Electric Boats and Pedalo’s from Easter to the end of October. These small boats CAN NOT BE PREBOOKED. Prices are subject to change.

The Lee Valley Boat Centre is a small, friendly business with the intention of giving everyone the chance of experiencing the River Lee. From electric powered boats, to small pedalos for up to 4 persons we aim to provide a means to travel along the River Lee at an affordable cost. The boats are available from the boat centre in Broxbourne. In the interests of safety, all children under the age of 16 years will have to wear a buoyancy aid which we supply and fit free of charge prior to boarding one of our boats . Dogs / pets are permitted on our day boats but unfortunately not on any of our small boats (electric or pedalos) . The boring part - Please read carefully our Terms & Conditions (Day Boats, Small Boats) of hire for whichever boat you are interested in hiring as they include information to keep everyone safe whilst on the river.
