For a less formal day out why not charter Excalibur for four or eight hours?
For a glorious day out on the River Thames, for up to 10 people, consider chartering Excalibur for either half a day, or even a full day.
Our Half and Full-day charters include unlimited soft-drinks on board, but do not include food. Guests are welcome to pre-order food from our Charter Menu, and purchase drinks from our bar.

Unfortunately, due to our license restrictions, alcoholic drinks cannot be brought on board, although guests are welcome to bring on food and soft drinks, or stop at a riverside pub (mooring permitting).
Frequently asked questions
Will I get seasick?
The inland waterways of Britain are nothing like the seas around our coasts. The non-tidal River Thames is untroubled by waves any bigger than a duck’s leg, and the only movement you will feel will be if another boat goes past us too fast. So no, seasickness won’t be an issue.
Is it cold on board in the winter, and hot in the summer?
If only British weather was that predictable! But if it is cold outside we have central heating and/or a woodburning stove on board, and if it’s hot outside we have an air-conditioning unit and lots of windows and hatches.
Can we bring guests on board?
Up to two guests are welcome to join you for dinner or even for a day or two of your holiday (and will be charged for accordingly) – whether you know they are coming before your holiday, or during it (with as much warning as possible please!).
Can we smoke on board?
Smoking is not permitted in or on any part of Excalibur.
Can you cater for dietary needs?
In our pre-holiday/dinner/day-out booking process we will ask for dietary requirements – and will aim to cater for most. Also if there is something you just don’t like (e.g. Aubergines, celery, lamb, tomatoes, Marmite) …. Just tell us, and we’ll keep it out of your way!
Can we bring our dog on board?
Unfortunately we are not able to accommodate animals (other than our own two cats, Berty and Mavis).
What is there to do on board Excalibur?
You will have free access to the onboard WiFi (the signal is better in some places than others along the River!), which provides for onboard TV, but there is also a wireless speaker to attach to the music on your phone. We also provide a limited range of board games, packs of cards, and a nice selection of books.
