Bath and water are inseparable, so it’s almost compulsory to take a boat trip along the River Avon or hire a canoe, punt, row boat or narrow boat for a more active day out. Taking to the water is a gentle and relaxing way to explore Bath and the surrounding areas, offering a different perspective of the city's iconic sights and the opportunity to encounter some waterside wildlife as you float along.

Hop aboard one of the boat trips leaving from Pulteney Bridge and relax whilst hearing about the city’s history and absorbing the tranquil surroundings. Pack a picnic hamper and take a romantic leisurely punt along the River Avon. Join a scenic river cruise to visit nearby Bathampton, make a day of it and pop into some lovely waterside pubs, or admire the abundant local wildlife along the river. Or, if you prefer to captain your own vessel, hire a row boat, punt or canoe and charter your own course on the tranquil – and very scenic - Kennet and Avon Canal.

Hire a narrowboat with friends and try steering it yourself, or hop aboard a lovingly restored 60s skippered boat for a luxurious cruise to see the city from a new perspective, with a drink in hand. Sit back and relax on the John Rennie, Bath’s only floating restaurant, with its glass-sided saloon offering delightful views as the countryside drifts past.
