Welcome to Severn Expeditions, we are a family run business offering Day Boat Hire and Guided Fishing Trips on the River Severn. We have both self-drive and skippered boats available, operating from the Upton Marina. There is Free Parking and excellent on-site facilities.

We are based in Upton-upon-Severn, Worcestershire in the heart of rural England. Our beautiful setting on Britain’s greatest natural waterway offers an abundance of wildlife and stunning scenery, and what better way is there to enjoy its tranquil waters than by boat?

Whether you’re a family wanting to pack a picnic and spend a day cruising and spotting wildlife, an angler trying to reach spots you can’t usually get to from the bankside, a group celebrating a special occasion or perhaps you just fancy a peaceful meander up the river… whatever it is you want to do, you can make use of our excellent boats and organise your very own private expedition.
No previous experience is necessary, and no specific licence required.
We will teach you everything you need to know!
