• 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 kayak 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 £3.5 per 6 minutes.
• We ask that you do your best to return your kayak on time at the end of your hire slot to avoid potential delays to other customers who may be waiting.
• Grantchester Kayak 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.
