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.
Currently we are stopping on the first trip of the day at(10.25) to collect passengers from Bathampton. Weare also stopping at Bathampton at 17.05 (departing from Bath Pulteney Weir at 16.40).
We are now running both the GREEN & GREY timetables
