Want to know what time to arrive for boarding?

Here’s a frequently asked question (and the answer):

Q: What time should we board?

A: Boarding is usually 10 to 15 minutes before the scheduled departure time. Please be prompt,even if you’ve booked as late arrivals may be placed on to the next available trip if boarding has already started.

Now that the kids are back at school and the streets of Stratford have quietened slightly from the busyness of the Summer holidays, it’s the perfect time to book a canal and river tour.

The barge is less busy, the heat has eased and the number of children is dramatically lower, so for all our empty nesters or retirees have full permission to prefer a quieter, calmer tour.

Book online or hop on at the canalside.

These blue skies might not be here anymore, but I'm sure we'll see them again soon... and in the meantime, the rain on the boat is an ASMR dream!

If you want to hear the sounds of the river during rainfall, head to Stratford Upon Avon this Autumn and hop on board or book your seat via the website for our canal and river tours🍂

The face of a very good boy who didn’t get left behind in the hot car 🐶

Planning a day trip with your four-legged family member can be tricky when most attractions close their doors to pets.

Not us! We are 100% dog-friendly (service dogs and water-loving pups alike). Bring your dog on board for our 40-minute tour, let them enjoy the cool river breeze, and take in the sights together.

Looking for a low-sensory, stress-free activity in Stratford-upon-Avon?

Planning a day trip when your child has autism, ADHD, or sensory processing needs can feel like navigating a minefield. Loud indoor venues, chaotic queues, and huge crowds can turn a fun family outing into a stressful ordeal very quickly.

If you need a gentle, low-stress activity in Stratford-upon-Avon, our 40-minute boat trip on the Jennifer May is a brilliant option:

Short & Sweet: At just 40 minutes, it’s long enough to feel like a proper outing, but short enough for short attention spans.

Calm & Peaceful: No flashing lights, no blaring music, and no overwhelming crowds—just the relaxing sound of water and wildlife passing by.

Spacious & Accessible: Level ramp boarding, an onboard lift, and moveable seating so everyone has plenty of space to feel comfortable.

Sheltered & Safe: Our fully covered cabin means everyone stays dry, warm, and secure, whatever the weather is doing outside.

Take a quiet breather on the water while the kids watch the swans drift past.

Visit the website to plan your visit, or drop us an email at [email protected] if you have any accessibility questions before booking.
