About
A private cruise aboard a classic Dutch barge offers a relaxing way to experience the beauty of the River Thames. With an experienced skipper at the helm, guests can unwind while passing historic riverside villages, elegant country estates, and peaceful stretches of Buckinghamshire countryside.

Food & Relaxation
Guests are welcome to bring a picnic, drinks, or light refreshments to enjoy during the cruise. The barge also offers the option to arrange afternoon tea, grazing boards, or picnic boxes, allowing for an even more indulgent experience while taking in the riverside scenery.
