Hire Cruisers Ltd offer self-drive hire boat rental on the River Medway. Boats can take up to 6 or 8 passengers and are beautifully appointed with nautical themes. Instructions on safe handling of the boat and the rules of the river are explained and buoyancy aids, fuel and on-site parking are available for 1 vehicle. They can be hired for 3 hours for either the morning or the afternoon or for a 6 hour all day trip.
This offers a completely different way to experience the River Medway, its history, it bankside buildings and the wildlife. The boats are easy to drive and provide a comfortable and relaxing day out for a family. There are lovely points to stop along the way where you can find a variety of cafes and picnic sites.
A unique way to arrive at a café is to pull along side the waterside serving hatch of The Old Boat Café , where you can get food and drink and never get out of your boat. The cafe staff will help you moor alongside. This is probably the only place in England you can do this.
