About Jane Asher

We are Alan and Jane pictured above with our head of security, 'Toffee.' Boat GEANNA was designed by us to be unique accommodation for our guests and to be as user friendly as possible so guests can experience life on a boat but with all the modern comforts and conveniences of home. Having successfully rented our villa in Turkey for 7 years, we wanted to transfer that experience on to the River Thames, a bit closer to home and with out all those airport queues! We also understood that our guests are not necessarily 'boating' types and would have no former boating knowledge. The boat is designed to be as safe as possible making it ideal for families with children. there are no complicated sea toilets to worry about. At the handover, we give a comprehensive handover so that you feel at home living on board a boat with all the expected comforts of 4 star accommodation.

Jane Asher purchased this boat in 2007
Why Jane Asher chose Henley On Thames

Boat Geanna was built to our specific requirements with our guests in mind. We have ensured that the standard of accommodation is high with proper beds and with each cabin having ensuite bathrooms.We understood that guests like their privacy and so have made the 3 cabins completely separate with their own door. We also understood that guests would be wanting to use electricity for hair dryers etc and so ensured a a 5000KW generator was installed and solar panels. the boat has 2 hot water tanks, enabling guests to enjoy hot water showers without running out of hot water. Each cabin has its own plasma TV, hair dryer, just like what you would expect in a hotel.

What makes this boat unique

GEANNA is cosy and warm in the winter with fuel burner and radiators throughout. People always ask 'Do you get cold on your boat?' The answer is quite the opposite, the boat is so well insulated and heated it can be almost too warm! The boat is light and airy and the outside decks provide cushioned seats to enjoy the stunning views as you cruise along. The layout is perfect for friends holidaying together or families and if there are more than 11 in your party, you can always book our other boat GINA and moor them alongside. This is definitely a Wind In The Willows experience!

Notes

  • The prices are for the hire of the boat based on up to maximum of 6 people resident. Dogs are welcome at £55 for one dog and £80 for 2 dogs.

    The price includes VAT and damage waiver fee.

    The prices exclude mooring fees which are paid locally, depending on where guests moor. Example; Henley charges £9 a night. Beale park is free.

    The price includes all linen and towel hire and also one hour's tuition in the operation and driving of the boat.

    Guests will be required to return the boat with a full tank of diesel. This can easily be done when the boat is returned to the marina and the staff there will assist guests with the fuelling (not self service). Diesel estimated costs are £12 per day.

    A secure carpark is available for guests to park their cars (max 2 cars per booking). This is paid directly to the marina on departure day and is £5 per car per night.
  • In the event of strong stream conditions (Environment Agency Yellow boards or Red boards) hirers will not be permitted, for safety reasons, to take the boat on the Thames in these strong stream conditions. In this eventuality, another date will be offered or a credit note for a future date. We will inform you at least 24 hours in advance if the conditions are likely to be too dangerous.

    Please note that we have a strict no drinking and driving policy when driving boats. This applies to the designated boat driver and one crew member and applies from handover to check out. We reserve the right not to hand the boat over to anyone who we have reason to believe is under the influence of alcohol on arrival.
