TIER 5/NATIONAL LOCKDOWN (04/01/21) - "STAY AT HOME". ONLY currently available for guests staying in the area for business/key workers/emergency accommodation. Heated, exclusive use, totally isolated & fully equipped, 6-berth motor yacht includes large in/outdoor living area, Smart TV, Netflix, PS3, WiFi, Alexa, board games, books, linen/towels & tea/coffee. Free use of water sports also available. "Riverscapes" is based in Chertsey, 7 miles from Heathrow. Parking & bike hire can be arranged.
The space
EXCLUSIVE USE, and available all year, this is a perfectly appointed self-catering 6-berth/3 cabin classic French motor yacht located half-way between Hampton Court Palace and Windsor Castle on the non-tidal River Thames – with Thorpe Park on the doorstep!
Thorpe Park on the doorstep!
This is a very beautiful and cleverly laid out boat with a really rich heritage and generous space throughout. She has recently been refurbished and has 3 cabins/bedrooms (all with en-suite toilets/heads and shower/washrooms providing hot water and toiletries), 2 separate living areas (dining and saloon/lounge), galley/kitchen, sun loungers on the bow/front deck, rattan seating on the flybridge/upper deck (currently under refurbishment but still useable) and an aft/rear deck with an outside dining area.
Facilities include heating throughout, a fully equipped galley (4-plate induction hob, dishwasher, large fridge, freezer, combination oven/microwave, toaster, kettle, coffee machine, crockery, cutlery, silverware, glassware, pots, pans, cooking utensils and basic kitchen ingredients), Smart TVs, Netflix, PS3, WiFi, bluetooth sound system, surround sound, Alexa, books, board games, tea/coffee plus bedding with freshly laundered linen and towels also provided.
“Riverscapes” is based in a wonderfully peaceful and secure marina in Chertsey, a very quaint English town on the banks of the upper Thames - half way between Windsor Castle and Hampton Court Palace.
There are plenty of places of interest to visit in the local area including historic monuments, market towns, museums, racecourses, theme parks and nature trails.
Direct trains to Waterloo take approximately 35 minutes should guests wish to sample the many tourist attractions in Central London too.
Heathrow is only 7 miles away.
This is, quite simply, the perfect base to kick back and relax after an action-packed adventure! Or, just stay on board and spend your time reading, playing board games and enjoying the peace and tranquillity of watching river life go by. Also a rare find for those keen on fishing as this sport is permitted here all year around from the boat you are staying on.
For the adventurous and energetic, why not try one of our canoes/kayaks, pedalos or SUP/stand-up paddle boards which are included in the price! There is a stunning lagoon within the marina for our guests to use.
Or we can offer discounted skippered cruises, self-drive day boats and bike hire so our staying guests can explore the local area. Furthermore, fishing trips, including guided fishing expeditions can also be arranged.

COVID-19/CORONAVIRUS – WHAT TO EXPECT DURING YOUR STAY:
Whilst we have always taken great pride in maintaining the highest standards of cleanliness and hygiene, we have now stepped up our cleaning procedures to make them even more rigorous. As such, there will be:
• Extra disinfection of high touch areas such as light switches, handles, remote controls, etc.
• Use of a UV-C germicidal lamp with ozone in each room after each clean.
• Introduction of hand sanitiser at the entrance.
• Reduced paper amenities such as advertising flyers and guest directories.
• Enhanced team member safety and well-being with provision of PPE and updated protocols.
• Responsible distancing of our staff – please be mindful of the recommended distance between other people.
• Masks/gloves/PPE to be worn where necessary – please note, public transport, shops and places of interest require the use of face-coverings therefore we recommend bringing your own PPE.
• Services and amenities which may be subject to change – for your safety and that of our staff, some services or amenities such a house-keeping and use of marina shower blocks, etc may be modified.
• Restricted areas dependent on bookings – whilst you will have exclusive use of the boat you have booked during your stay, we would respectfully request that only the cabins that have been booked and paid for be used thus limiting the surfaces which are likely to become contaminated.
