Electric Hire Boats
Oxford River Cruises offers several electric boats for hire in Oxford. Elegant electric launches and small motor boats can be hired from Port Meadow, just to the north of Oxford City Centre.
Electric hire boats are an ideal way to explore Oxford's waterways. They are very simple to control and glide almost silently through the water allowing a rare opportunity to experience true peace and tranquility away from the hustle and bustle of modern life.
Our small motor boats have a capacity of 4 adults and can offer a wonderful day on the river. Larger parties and work outings will often hire several vessels and explore the river in a flotilla of little boats. Groups of up to 24 people can be accommodated in this way. The boats are extremely buoyant and safe for all the family.
Our larger electric launch, elegant 'Isis 16', is a beautiful boat constructed by renowned local boat builders, Bossom's of Oxford. She is one of the finest boats available for self-skipper hire on the Thames, a user-friendly launch which any boater would be proud to captain. She is ideal for picnics, birthday parties, special occasions or just lazy days on the river, with a capacity of up to 9 people.' Isis 16' is very simple to control but due to to her value, both financial and sentimental, we ask that at least one member of the party has boat-handling experience. We will always give you a short control and navigation demonstration before taking her out.
