📍 Location

Launch from our private pontoon on the non-tidal River Thames in West Molesey, Surrey, giving you direct access to calm, scenic waters. The surrounding area features islands, riverside paths, and small beaches, providing plenty of variety for a full-day adventure or a short afternoon paddle.

The river is shared with other paddlers and small craft, so awareness and courtesy are important. Take care near locks and weirs, and always keep to the right-hand side of the river. Respect for other river users and riverside property helps maintain a safe and enjoyable environment for everyone.

📋 Prerequisites

Bookings must be made by an adult aged 18 or over, and at least one adult must accompany any junior paddlers on the water. All participants are required to wear the provided buoyancy aids, and a brief safety briefing is given before launch to ensure a smooth experience.

Equipment must be returned by the end of your hire period and removed from the water by dusk. Paddlers should dress appropriately for the weather, with waterproof layers recommended if rain or wind is expected. Small dry bags are suggested for valuables, and canoes are suitable for small dogs if required.
