My daughter and I had a TERRIFIC time kayaking. The owner is very knowledgeable and friendly. Helped up get set up. The kayak and gear was in great condition and his location allows for one to go downstream to see Windsor castle from the river (which is impressive) or go upstream to for paddle through a more scenic area. His kayaks have the lock permit on them so one can really explore. We got out at Oakley Court, had lunch, and then went on. Stopped for a swim along the way too. One can definitely spend a full day exploring the river in this area or just get out for a few hours. Next time we will do his scheduled downstream paddle. His location is a little hidden as he's just on the other side of the railroad bridge (the leisure center side) by bath island. The Google maps pin IS accurate. At 40 for 4 hours or 50 for the whole day his rates are really reasonable. I had such a great day I specifically too the time to post this when I got back...
Read moreBrilliant day, hidden gem in Windsor that more should know about!
2 hours, 3 people, £35 (no extra fees for the life jackets, etc). Big waterproof bag to put your phones/jackets etc in to bring on board too.
Worth noting, we didn’t book but you can online too - I’d imagine they’re busy on certain days.
Turned up without a booking, given the gear and a tutorial on how to operate the canoe and what route we were taking. Then that’s it, left to roam around the sites of Windsor on the Thames on your own - which is great, as you can slow down and take some pics etc. Tutorial was clear with a few laughs thrown in.
Big thanks from the 3 that were with you around 1pm ish today! We’ll be back.
P.S. £35 for a family day out for 3, in Windsor. Get involved folks!

Read moreLovely 3 hour hire; would thoroughly recommend.
Good boats & safety kit, careful Covid-secure hygiene measures, and a perfect setting. There was also good emphasis on safety with a clear briefing before we got into the boats; the guy made especially sure that we knew what we were doing and felt comfortable with the route he recommended that we take.
Well situated near to some quiet stretches of water as well as close to great views of the castle. In the height of summer there were enough boats around to feel the atmosphere but not so busy as to be daunting.
We hired a 3-man Canadian Canoe and a kayak for my 18-old...
