We are Livett's

BETTER BY WATER

We have an enviable reputation

Over a period of more than 35 years, Livett’s have developed an enviable reputation for operational excellence on the River Thames.

The Livett family have worked the tidal River Thames in London since 1710 and the Chairman, Chris Livett, Bargemaster to HM King Charles III, is actively involved in encouraging the positive usage and development of our great river.

As such, we are one of the most experienced boat hire companies working on London’s Thames, offering a range of river services including boat hire, filming, marine civil engineering, PR and product launches, and much more.
