Home - Lee Valley Boat Centre

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, Rowing Boats and Pedalo’s from Easter to the end of the October. These small boats CAN NOT BE PREBOOKED. Please call 01992 462085 to check availability. Prices are subject to change. Please Note: All children under 16 years of age must wear a bouyancy aid which we will supply and fit free of charge for the duration of hire.

The Lee Valley Boat Centre is a small, friendly business with the intention of giving everyone the chance of experiencing the River Lee. From passenger boat hire for larger groups, to small rowing boats 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 with the exception of the passenger boats, which are boarded at the mooring slightly further upstream. 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 (exception being the passenger boats which have their own safety management system on board). Dogs / pets are permitted on our day boats but unfortunately not on any of our small boats (electric, rowing or pedalos) or passenger boats where food is being served. 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.

					  What a lovely relaxing place to go with the family, they work on a first come first served basis, we queued for around 15 minutes, staff are very helpful and... read more informative of what you need to do, just go out on the river sit back relax and cruse up and down.

I would recommend 60 minutes or the 90 minutes,  the price inthink is very reasonable at £24 for 60 minutes hire with a £20 deposit which gets returned at the end.

					  Hired out a boat for five people although there was only four of us.   It was an hour trip down the river and back.   It was... read more a two hour wait for the boat so we went for lunch first.  They issued us a ticket so when we returned the boat was available.  It was a lovely warm day so thoroughly enjoyed the trip.   It was so peaceful and calm.   Would go again and recommend it.   I’ve been on the passenger boat many times but never a small boat we drove ourselves.
