When there is "nothing - absolutely nothing - half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats".

The HotTug

The world's first floating hot tub, The HotTug, is an electric powered, self-drive, wood-fired hot tub. Each 12ft HotTug can hold up to seven and is fitted with an electric motor that can power the tubs about at speeds of up to 2.6 knots (3mph). Each can hold 1800 litres of water, which is heated to 38 celsius by a small wood-burning stove at the bow of the boat. The experience is based at the at the historic 18th century docklands of West India Quay in Canary Wharf and lasts for 75 minutes. 

BBQ Boat

The HotTug have also launched a BBQ variation and the first BBQ boating experience in the UK. Hire your very own BBQ Boat for 1hr 45 minutes out on the water. The BBQ Boats hold groups of up to 10 people and all you need to do is bring is your food, drink and they provide all the essential BBQ equipment. The boats operate 7 days a week, daytime and evening, from the historic West India Quay dock at Canary Wharf. Priced from only £15 per person.

GoBoat 

Already a phenomenal success in Scandinavia, GoBoat is available now in London. GoBoat is the only self-drive, powered boating experience in central London. Be the captain of your own boat and chart your own adventure and choose your own crew (of up to eight). From their bases in Paddington, Canary Wharf and Kingston GoBoats have access to a stunning section of the London canal network.

The Thames has been used in various Bond films and the latest blockbuster is no exception. Make a splash and charter 'Shaken Not Stirred' the actual Sunseeker used in the classic Thames speedboat chase sequence (from M16 to the 02) in the Bond film 'The World is Not Enough'. Tailor your charter accordingly, choosing where you would like to journey to, from a sunset cruise along the Thames to taking in the locations used in the upcoming film including Westminster and Lambeth Bridges and the iconic M16 building.
