About The Little Green Boat Company

The Little Green Boat Company sits inside Lammas Recreation Ground on the River Thames in Staines-upon-Thames, offering hourly electric rowing and motor boat hire alongside a Thames-themed 9-hole mini-golf course and a riverside café kiosk. It's a genuine standout for a Staines day out — few local venues combine self-drive boating, themed golf and refreshments in one riverside spot. Well suited to families, groups and casual visitors, it runs a seasonal schedule (weekends and school holidays for café/golf) with boat hire bookable year-round via the site.
