Riverboat Georgina

About the venue

Length overall 80 feet; beam 13'6"; air draft 9'6"; draft 3' 6"; light ship weight 30 tonnes, Georgina was custom-built over the winter of 1994/5, specifically for use on the River Cam, snugly fitting through all the locks and under all the bridges.

Equipped with mains electricity, heating and full disabled facilities, she operates on a stretch of the River that runs from Cambridge through Ely to Denver Sluice, with a license to carry 110 passengers. Sailing information Georgina is available for charter all year round. On a 4-hour cruise, guests are picked-up from our mooring below Jesus Lock in Cambridge and sail as far as Bottisham Lock before returning to Cambridge. Just messing about on the river! The Riverboat Georgina offers this in the style and luxury of a fully appointed passenger craft, with a licensed capacity for up to 110 guests. The wonderful thing is that she is suitable for any function, whether you are booking a company do, or a party for family and friends. Georgina can be booked to sail throughout the year, morning, noon and night. The usual length of cruise is four hours, but we can alter this to suit your needs. Let us arouse your sensory taste buds, dazzle you with the decor, tantalize you with extensive menus, and get your feet tapping to the music of your choice. Imagine drifting genteelly down the River Cam, sipping your Earl Grey, nibbling on freshly baked scones with jam and cream, escaping from the hustle and bustle of everyday life to sit back and relax, drinking in the scenery to the sounds of mellow jazz. Alternatively, picture yourself on a lazy summers evening, slipping seductively from light to smouldering darkness . . . the disco lights are whirling, and the music is drifting through the air . . . what a party. We cater for wedding receptions, birthdays, works dos, anniversaries, conferences, cream teas, or simply because you feel like a party! We have a fully stocked bar on-board, and we can provide a range of musical entertainment, from a disco to jazz to classical. We also have a range of menus, from a finger buffet to a more formal sit down four course meal - the choice is yours!
