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 type of ‘blue space’ whether it be ocean, lake or river, brings us a natural sense of peace and calmness. It’s an escape from the overwhelming hyper-connected, over stimulated state of society and modern day life we live in, in favour of a rare moment of solitude to appreciate the natural world around us. Being ON the water is even more fun! Boating adventures bring immeasurable happiness and joy to many of our families, friends and groups who enjoying frolicking, relaxing and meandering down the waterway…. and if it’s a dry warm sunny day that’s an added bonus!! Sorry as much as we would love to order the sun every day, the weather is just something we can’t control. Don’t worry though 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.
