Self Drive Boat Hire

Fancy being ‘Captain Jack’ for a day? Our self-drive boats give you ultimate privacy for your adventure. We have a choice of covered or not covered boats. All are easy to operate, have plenty of room and seat 2-7 people. Click ‘hire a boat’ to find out more.

Skippered Boat Hire

Take relaxation one step further and have a skipper do the driving for you. A celebratory drink in hand and a pre-ordered picnic is the way to experience a special occasion in style. Our experienced team will be sure to make your time on the river enjoyable.

Guided Fishing Trips

Our fishing guides are some of the best anglers in the country. We offer guided fishing trips tailored to your needs. Whether you are an experienced angler or new to fishing, our guides will share their knowledge and teach you tips and tricks for great fishing on the Lower Severn.

Boat Hire in Upton-upon-Severn

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?

a fun day out boating for all

It’s a known fact that we humans love water! Being next to any ‘blue space’ whether it be ocean, lake or river brings us a natural sense of peace and calm. It’s an escape from the over stimulated and hyper-connected state of society we live in today, in favour of a rare moment of solitude to appreciate the natural world around us. Being ON the water is even better! Boating adventures bring immeasurable happiness to our customers who escape the daily grind and enjoy having fun, relaxing, and meandering down the waterway…and if it’s a hot sunny day that’s a bonus!! As much as we would love to order the sun every day, the weather is something we can’t control, but don’t worry, we aren’t about to send you out in conditions where you are likely to get soaked through to your undies. That’s not cool! We want you to enjoy your trip, so we offer flexibility in those circumstances. Never been boating before? Don’t stress! No previous experience is necessary. No licence is required to drive a boat and we will teach you everything you need to know before you go out!
