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 Bathhampton.

Unfortunately we are no longer stopping at Bathampton. We understand for many people this is very disappointing. This is for many reasons.
No seats can be reserved in advance, we operate on a first come first served basis unless you are to hire the boat exclusively (bookable in advance).
The timetable stated is the times the boat departs.
The boat is ready for boarding 20 minutes before the departure time.
Those that are first in the queue will be able to board the boat first.
Pushchairs and mobility scooters must be folded and cannot be taken on the top desck of the boat. Crew are happy to help those with limited mobility aboard but cannot physically lift passengers.
Well behaved dogs are welcome.
We do no allow customers to bring their own drinks aboard, we have a bar which we offer hot and cold drinks and snacks from.
Come and jump onboard – no need to book. We sail from Pulteney Weir, accessed from the Pulteney Bridge steps.
