Explore the River Great Ouse
Day boats, kayaks & paddleboards for hire. No experience needed – just pick your craft and enjoy the beautiful Cambridgeshire waterways.
Family-Run, River-Focused
River Leisure Boats has been introducing families to the joys of the River Great Ouse since 2005. What started as a couple of day boats has grown into a fleet of well-maintained craft for all abilities.
We believe everyone should be able to enjoy the tranquility of the river. That's why we offer easy-to-drive boats that require no licence, plus kayaks and paddleboards for those wanting a more active adventure.
