WE ARE NOW CLOSED FOR THE WINTER
Pulteney Cruisers are the longest established boat tour operator in Bath. We have been running boat trips from Pulteney weir in the centre of Bath for over 50 years.
Our boats each seat 70 people & have a cafe on board. There is a sundeck or heated cabin depending on the weather.
We offer a scenic hour’s cruise up the River Avon to the village of Bathampton on our twin decked boats. The trip passes under the historic Pulteney Bridge & out into the beautiful Avon valley. There is an abundance of wildlife to see on the river including swans, herons, kingfishers & for the lucky few, otters!
On the way upstream the crew serve hot & cold drinks from the galley & on the return journey of each cruise there is a fascinating live commentary on the history, architecture & points of interest on the Avon.
We no longer stop at Bathampton.
Boats will be running when the river level will allow us to, if we have had a lot of rainfall this makes the river rise and therefore makes river conditions too dangerous to operate.
If the green board is at Pulteney Weir we will be operating.
