Boat vacation rentals in Berkshire

Our family of 3 loved staying in the houseboat. It was a great hideaway in the middle of the city. The boat was even larger than we expected and very comfortable.

Booked for working in area so great fun

We had a lovely weekend on Calypso to celebrate a birthday and attend the Boat Show. Poole harbour is beautiful and there is all you need ( Tesco, restaurants etc) within a few mins walk of the boat. The boat is large and we were very warm and comfortable. Certainly a different experience for us.

A very special experience, with great communication and responsiveness with any questions we had.

Hello, We were two adults ans two kids and there was plenty of room to accommodate us 4. We had a great stay and a warm welcome. The location is great in Little Venice. Of course, if you go for this type of accommodation you know it will be somewhat different and exciting and this is exactly what you’ll get. Brushing your teeth with geese and ducks passing by - you can’t beat that.

This is a great place to stay if you are looking for something really different and unique. We stayed 1 night to celebrate my partner's birthday, the location is beautiful and there is a lovely scenic amble into the town where there are many places to eat and drink. A truly chilled vibe!

Unique stay right in the heart of Portsmouth. It’s a boat, I had the best nights sleep I’ve had in ages being gently bobbed about. It had everything you needed for an overnight stay. Timothy was very though with his communications which made it easy to check in even when we arrived late in the evening. The marina is secured and manned, and helpfully they have trolleys, so I’d suggest going and checking out the marina first, grabbing a trolley and taking it back to the gunwharf quays carpark, much easier than lugging cases/holdalls about. Speaking of the carpark you can park right next to quays, and if you take your ticket to the parking attendant you can get a discounted rate of £4.70 for 24 hours. Perfect for a unique experience stay. Not gonna lie, kinda want a boat now.

Great overnight stay on Mischief, which was a treat for my husband’s birthday whilst attending the boat show. Kathy was available upon check in to show us around the boat. A quirky little stay, ideal for anyone who was looking for something alternative to the usual Airbnb & hotels. We had a great stay, thank you Kathy

Nancy, I had the best birthday on your beautiful boat. It was cosy and homely. What a wonderful location too; with Broadway Market on the doorstep with amazing food from all over the world. Couldn't of asked for me. After a little hiccup finding the boat, you were so responsive and helpful. Thank you for making my birthday so special. Hope to stay again soon x

We stayed on Nadine as a surprise for my husband's birthday, we wanted something different and that's exactly what we got. Communication, instructions and John's warm welcome gave us a positive start to our stay. We enjoyed some great hospitality at Cobbs cafe, we also hired a boat and explored Poole harbour. We are a group who enjoy walking and exploring, although we enjoyed the jacuzzi, we didn't spend much time on the boat other than to sleep. The beds are comfortable, the kitchen is a generous size with a decent size fridge freezer. Thanks once again for the memorable weekend.

Excellent place to stay and Colin the host, was exceptionally helpful and knowledgeable about the boat and the surrounding areas. This was a beautiful and peaceful experience and so memorable, as such an unusual place to stay.

I met Gareth earlier to pick up the keys. I returned later that evening and had a fantastic evening, cooked myself some dinner and watched one of the DVD’s. This really is one of my favourite stays. If you’re looking for a boring hotel room then don’t stay here. If you’re looking for a fantastic cozy getaway then I would recommend this little Gem. Fantastic host and communication. Boat life is certainly for me.

We had a brilliant night on the river on the canal boat. Little Venice was amazing and such a unique experience. The boat was very cosy with a very comfortable bed. Thomas was very helpful and answered all our questions quickly. Thank you for an amazing stay.

Ted’s boat is a great option if you’re looking for a unique stay in London! The location was very convenient and waking up to the sounds of the surrounding wildlife was really special.

Excellent neighborhood and location and very easy public transport to all the things we wanted to do in London. Children loved the boat and very to close to restaurant options around Kew Green. Had such a lovely time!

I truly enjoyed staying aboard Dana- it was a real pleasure and I was very sad to leave. Even at 6 ft 4 in (1.9M) tall, I fit in the shower no problem, which is quite an accomplishment in general, not to mention on a boat. The galley was better appointed than most Airbnb kitchens on land, and though the docks are very quiet, there are plenty of good restaurants, pubs, and attractions in the neighborhood. Tower Hill is a very convenient tube stop. I found it to be a very charming vessel that really felt like home - I came alone on business, but really hope that I will be able to bring my family back. You definitely feel that many good memories have been made here and that it is well-loved and well cared for.
