River Thames Boat Project is a registered charity offering therapeutic and respite cruises, including School on the River and Eco Venturers.

Our home mooring is in Kingston and the office is located in Richmond. Beneficiaries and Volunteers come from all over Surrey and London.

Our clients have included groups of: ex-servicemen, carers, children with cancer, multiple sclerosis, stroke recovery, care homes, dementia and disabled clients and many more.

We offer a safe and caring environment with volunteer crew, who are happy to go that extra mile to make trips memorable and exclusive. We are well known for friendliness and camaraderie.

We have (or will have soon) two boats. Thames Venturer a specially converted Dutch barge with a large upper deck offering superb views of the Thames and passing scenery. It has a spacious saloon with a galley able to provide hot and cold meals and drinks, and sleeping accommodation for up to ten passengers and four crew. A lift provides access from the main deck to the saloon for those who cannot manage the stairs, and there are two toilets and showers accessible to wheelchair users.

Thames Discoverer is our new boat and will join us during the Summer of 2017. This boat is also accessible to those who have mobility issues.

As a charity we welcome enquiries from local organisations that wish to help us with fundraising or sponsorship.
