• The minimum age for hiring a boat without an adult is 16 years old. The minimum age to participate in canoeing is 4 years old. If your party has members 15 years old or younger, they must be accompanied by an adult aged 18 years or older.
• The maximum capacity of a self-hire canoe is 4 people.
• Aim to arrive 15 minutes before your booking slot to allow time for checking in. At check-in, you'll be asked to leave a contactless card hire deposit, then read and electronically sign our Conditions of Hire.
• You can easily reschedule your booking up to 1 hour before departure by following the link in your booking confirmation.
• Once you've boarded your canoe, you'll receive a hire handover briefing from a member of our staff, after which your hire commences.
• Any additional hire beyond your allotted time will be calculated at the usual hourly hire rate of £3.50 per 6 minutes.
• We ask that you do your best to return your canoe on time at the end of your hire slot to avoid potential delays to other customers who may be waiting.
• Grantchester Canoe hire takes place between our Boatyard Punt Station in Cambridge and the village of Grantchester. Boats can't be taken on the lower river, along the College Backs. To see the College Backs and its colleges, you can book our College Backs self-hire boats.
• Bookings are subject to our Terms & Conditions.
