Boat vacation rentals in Berkshire

Wonderful, well equipped and surprisingly spacious. Lovely to stroll along the canal or enjoy nearby Primrose Hill. Andres was very quick to respond. A magical experience.

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.

We had a great stay on Sea-E-O, very well equipped and had everything we needed for a relaxing weekend. The beds were super comfortable! A lovely location to sit out on deck and watch the world go by (just a boat every now and again!). I can imagine going back in the summer, with a book and glass of something cold in hand! A short walk into lymington which is lovely, great places to eat, a lovely market and the kids enjoyed crab fishing on the quay. We throughly enjoyed our weekend away - thank you!

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.

Really enjoyed my stay here! Was a lovely location near the restaurants, the boat is clean and has everything you’d need. Check-in was straightforward and the car park was really handy just round the corner!

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!

We loved our stay on Sea Wolf, we've never stayed on a boat before so it was a real treat! The boat was great for 3 of us (two adults and an 8 yr old child) we really enjoyed the IOW views, relaxing on the decks and exploring the marina and beautiful nature reserve. Food at the Haven was excellent with great staff and the showers were really good. There was a chilly wind all weekend but we felt cosy and warm. Beds were really comfy and the main area has good seating and a VERY efficient hob and kettle. It was easy to get to Lymington for the market and well placed for getting out to the beaches and New Forest. Pack light! There are storage cubbies but it's a boat so it's compact. We pre-made food and the fridge & ice box had ample space. It's worth noting that there is a bit of boat noise in the night - pumps, dehums, a generator sound on and off BUT there is also the soothing sound of the water and the general creaking of the boat, overall a unique and fun experience!

I had a lovely stay. Being there during the high tides and seeing the marsh flood made it special. The barge is beautifully rigged out, it's a real labour of love. It's also very comfortable and well appointed. Elise was a great host. Thank you for everything.

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

Fun experience for my family, including two children aged 10 and 13. Good introduction by Steve. Everything we needed was on hand. Easy walk to restaurants and shops. Would be amazing in warmer weather.

Another great year in the Pig Boat!!! Nancy was as lovely and helpful as ever, the boat looks gorgeous and was absolutely spotless. Wonderful location, felt very safe on the boat at night. Thank you again Nancy!

Ok, so let me write an honest review. I’m Not sure what people are moaning about but here goes… We have travelled across the world and stayed in many different quirky locations but this was one of my top five! I’m boat mad and have always wanted to own a yacht but unless I win the lottery… this is the closest I’ll ever get. The yacht was clean and tidy, it’s 60 years old!! It’s not new. The bed was massive and extremely comfy. I haven’t slept that well in years. The kitchen was not the same as at home because, you aren’t at home! The toilets were in perfect working order. Anyone who knows boats knows how to use them efficiently. The Hot tub was the highlight. I spent almost my entire stay in there! It’s private and peaceful. I personally didn’t want to get out ever! The TV has all the latest apps like Netflix. The heating was adequate but we did leave it on all the time as it is March! I would definately stay again, they were lucky I didn’t move in! Thank you for a great stay x

I enjoy seeking out unique places to stay with an interesting story. SULA LV14 did not disappoint and our hosts explained the history and workings of the boat with infectious enthusiasm. LV14 is well appointed, careful craftsmanship has made the interesting space with few right angles very comfortable. We were lucky with the weather but I think being on board in a storm would be equally exhilarating! (and safe!) Our hosts provided current information on local activities and gave great recommendations for local independent places to eat. LV14 is in easy walking distance of Gloucester Docks and the Cathedral which are both worth visiting. The private tour of the boat was my highlight and highly recommended.

The boat was lovely. It was perfect walking distance to a friend's house where we had a weekend of birthday celebrations and also perfect for the parkrun at Bushy Park Saturday morning. The boat looked just like the photos and loved the quirkiness of it. I was staying on the boat with my sister and brother-in-law so access to the outside toilet and shower provided extra privacy. We had a few queries over the weekend and Monica was always very quick to respond. Staying on the boat added to the wonderful weekend - thank you :)

Spending a couple of days on the Seahorse was a great experience. Pat provided clear and detailed instructions on how to approach the boat and what to do while aboard, which was very helpful. The boat has plenty of space, it felt quite comfortable. Based on the pictures we expected it to be a bit smaller, but we were pleasantly surprised about how roomy the interior actually is. The boat is equipped with everything one could need for everyday tasks, it is well designed for living there even for longer periods of time. We also had a unique and charming view on the river and Kew bridge. There were 4 of us staying on the boat (all adults) and we greatly enjoyed our stay overall. Would highly recommend the experience.

We loved our stay on Mia’s gorgeous boat. We were even stopped a couple times by passers by admiring the set up while we sat out on the stern in the sun ! Everything was clean, tidy and super simple to manage, all the plants make it feel really cosy as well as a natural sanctuary. We had a drink at crate brewery as well as food at Lucia’s which is super close to the boat and offers amazing tacos and intimate cool vibe. Sad not to have stayed for longer - but was a charming birthday surprise. Thanks Mia!

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.
