River Thames Boat Project
The River Thames Boat Project is a registered charity that gives people of all ages
the chance to access the Thames, to discover this fascinating river, and to learn
more about its environment.
Our specially adapted community barge, the Richmond Venturer, provides day and residential cruises for people of all ages and abilities from its berth in Kingston upon Thames, and is also used as a floating classroom by local schools.
Relying entirely on voluntary donations, we offer heavily subsidised voyages tailored to the needs and interests of children and adults with disabilities, community organisations, schools and adult education colleges, as well as individuals who are not part of any group.
The Richmond Venturer
Richmond Venturer is a specially converted Dutch barge with a large upper deck offering superb views of the Thames and passing scenery. It has a spacious saloon with a galley able to provide hot and cold meals and drinks, and sleeping accommodation for up to ten passengers and four crew. A lift provides access from the main deck to the saloon for those who cannot manage the stairs, and there are two toilets and showers accessible to wheelchair users.
