River Nene - Peterborough / East Northants

Location: Charters normally depart from Overton Lake in Ferry Meadows Country Park, Ham Lane, Peterborough. We can depart from other points on the river (e.g. the city centre) by arrangement at additional cost.

Area of operation: River Nene

Type of boat: see above

Duration of trip: The minimum charter is one hour; the minimum time required for the trip and scattering is around 45 minutes.  We are happy to cruise longer, up to a maximum of two hours.

Capacity of boat: 12 passengers

Refreshments:Our moorings are next to a nice cafe/restaurant and several pubs/restaurants are within a few minutes.

Cost: Standard charters range from £50 to £120 per hour (minimum 1 hour) depending on time and day.  If additional requirements such as urns, collecting ashes, arranging/performing a ceremony are required, these are quoted individually after discussion.

Additional: Parking is adjacent, with wheelchair access to and on the boat.  We operate from the Easter school holidays until the end of September and cannot offer services outside this period.  The boat is open top and so heavy rain may prevent sailing.

Company comments: All ceremonies are conducted on the River Nene, west of Peterborough.  We are only two locks above the tidal section of the river which goes out into the North Sea.  Ferry Meadows Country Park is just off the A1M, easily accessible and less than one hour from Leicester, Oakham, Corby, Northampton, Bedford, Huntingdon, Cambridge, Ely, Wisbech, Kings Lynn, Boston, Sleaford, Cambridgeshire, Lincolnshire, Northamptonshire, Leicestershire, Rutland, Nottinghamshire and Bedfordshire.
