Our rental options range from hourly bookings to full-day charters. You can choose between skippered and bareboat options depending on your qualifications.

Discover how we became London's trusted provider for motorboat rentals along the Thames and beyond
Foxomi was established in 2015 when three maritime enthusiasts recognized a gap in London's recreational boating market. What started as a modest fleet of four motorboats operating from a single dock in Kensington has grown into a comprehensive rental service with 18 vessels ranging from compact day cruisers to spacious cabin cruisers.
Our founders brought together decades of combined experience in marine operations, hospitality, and customer service. This foundation allowed us to build a business that prioritizes safety protocols, vessel maintenance standards, and client satisfaction from day one.
Over nine years of operations, we have facilitated more than 12,000 successful rentals across the Thames waterways and connecting channels. Our team consists of eight certified marine technicians who conduct pre-rental inspections and perform scheduled maintenance according to Maritime and Coastguard Agency guidelines.
Each vessel in our fleet undergoes comprehensive safety checks every 30 days, with engines serviced by manufacturer-certified mechanics. We maintain detailed service logs and replace equipment based on usage hours rather than calendar dates, ensuring reliability for every rental.
Our captains hold RYA qualifications and have logged an average of 850 hours on Thames waters. This local knowledge allows us to provide accurate route planning, tide information, and navigation advice tailored to current conditions.
We provide access to well-maintained motorboats with transparent pricing and clear rental terms. Our focus is ensuring each client receives a vessel that meets safety standards, along with practical guidance for their time on the water. We aim to make boating accessible to both experienced operators and those new to Thames navigation.
To expand our service coverage to additional Thames locations while maintaining the operational standards that have defined our business. We plan to add six electric motorboats to our fleet by 2025, reducing emissions while offering quieter cruising options. Our goal is to remain a reliable choice for anyone seeking motorboat rental in the London area.
All vessels meet MCA commercial vessel regulations. We provide comprehensive safety briefings and equipment checks before departure, with 24/7 emergency support available.
Our technicians follow manufacturer service schedules and conduct additional inspections after every rental. Engine hours are tracked digitally, triggering automatic maintenance alerts.
Rental agreements specify fuel policy, damage liability, cancellation conditions, and insurance coverage. All costs are itemized with no hidden fees added at checkout.
We offer optional navigation tutorials covering Thames regulations, lock operations, and mooring procedures. First-time renters receive extended briefings at no additional charge.

We chartered a boat for my wife's birthday celebration with 12 guests. The vessel was spotless, equipped with everything we needed including a sound system and refrigerator. The skipper knew the Thames exceptionally well and took us to quieter spots away from the main traffic. Communication before the booking was prompt, and they accommodated our specific timing requirements without any issues. The price included fuel which made budgeting straightforward.
Good experience overall. The boat was in decent condition and served our purpose for a corporate team outing. Would have appreciated more flexibility with the departure time, but the staff were professional.
Brilliant service! I'm so happy with how smoothly everything went. Booked online in minutes, received confirmation immediately with all the details. The boat exceeded expectations - modern, comfortable seating for 8, and incredibly stable even when other vessels passed by. Perfect for our client entertainment event.
Met expectations for the price point. The boat was functional and got us where we needed to go. The engine was a bit louder than expected, which made conversation difficult at times. Staff were helpful when we had questions about navigation restrictions. Decent value if you're looking for basic transport rather than luxury.
I needed a solution for photographing riverside properties from the water for my real estate portfolio. Foxomi provided exactly what I required - a stable platform with the ability to move slowly and stop precisely where needed. The skipper understood my requirements immediately and positioned us perfectly for each shot. We covered 15 properties in four hours, which was more efficient than I anticipated. The booking process was straightforward, and they offered a discount for the extended hire period. The ROI was excellent considering the quality of shots I obtained. I've already booked them again for next month's project in the Docklands area.
Chartered for a family reunion with relatives visiting from abroad. The boat comfortably fit our group of 10. Delivery took a bit longer than initially quoted - we were told 30 minutes but it was closer to 50 minutes. Once we got going though, everything was fine. The crew were friendly and knowledgeable about London landmarks which our guests appreciated.
Excellent value for money. Clean boat, reliable engine, professional crew. Would definitely use again.
Reasonable service. The boat was adequate for our needs - a simple afternoon cruise with friends. The seating could have been more comfortable for a three-hour trip, and it would be nice to have more options for different boat sizes. That said, the price was fair and the booking system worked without problems. Customer support answered my questions within a few hours.
I run a small events company and needed a reliable partner for regular river charters. After trying several providers, Foxomi has become our go-to choice. Their fleet is well-maintained, which matters when you're putting your reputation on the line with clients. They've handled everything from intimate groups of 6 to larger parties of 15, always delivering consistent quality. The pricing structure is transparent with no hidden fees, and they offer preferential rates for repeat bookings. Communication is always clear and timely.
Solid choice for a day on the water. The boat handled well and the staff knew what they were doing. Minor issue with the sound system not working initially, but they sorted it quickly.
Outstanding experience from start to finish. I proposed to my girlfriend during a sunset cruise and the team helped make it absolutely perfect. They discreetly arranged champagne and flowers exactly as requested, and the timing was impeccable. The boat itself was immaculate - clearly well cared for with comfortable leather seating and a premium sound system. The route they suggested took us past some stunning views while avoiding the busier sections. Worth every penny and she said yes!
We needed transport for a film shoot along the river and had very specific timing requirements due to lighting conditions. Foxomi accommodated our unusual schedule without hesitation, including an early 6 AM start. The boat provided a stable filming platform, which was crucial for our equipment worth thousands of pounds. The skipper was patient during multiple takes and repositioning, never rushing us despite our booking running 30 minutes over. They clearly understand professional requirements. The invoice was accurate and matched the quote exactly, which made accounting straightforward. I've recommended them to three other production companies since.
Acceptable service for the price. The boat did what we needed it to do - got us from A to B with our fishing gear. The engine performance was reliable, though the boat showed some wear and tear. Staff were courteous and provided basic safety instructions. Not luxurious but functional. The deposit was returned within the promised timeframe, which was appreciated.
