Canary Wharf, Greater LondonAbout Skuna Boats
When it comes to family outings, the quest for something unique, engaging, and enjoyable for all ages can be a bit of a challenge. Enter Skuna Boats – the perfect experience for families seeking a memorable day out.
Combining the tranquillity of the water with the excitement of navigating your own boat, Skuna Boats offers a boat trip that is super fun and a once-in-a-lifetime experience!
The Skuna Boats Experience
First off, did you know that Skuna Boats is more than just a boat ride? It's a hot tub outdoor experience and unlike any other water activity, you've done before. Plus, you'll be floating through the historic West India Quay docks at Canary Wharf’s financial district. Talk about travelling in style…
Dip right into the private self-drive BBQ boat or just the wood-fired hot tub - it's a completely bespoke and electric 75-minute Skuna hot tub boat trip. Bring the family or your friends and enjoy a relaxing float through the heart of London's rivers. It's the perfect outdoor summer activity to enjoy during the summer months, when the sun is shining and the bottle of wine is open! But you don't always have to wait till the summer though, it's a hot tub, so the warm water will keep you nice and toasty even in the winter. It'll only ever be closed if there's bad weather!
Before you head out into your hot tub adventure, you'll need to check-in and listen to a safety instruction video. Then you can head straight to the heated changing rooms to get into your swim gear! After, you’ll be able to purchase your beverages from a wide selection of drinks and set sail along the river!
Your private Skuna Boats can hold from 1-7 people. With one person driving (who also can't drink), while the other 6 people can enjoy two drinks per person. Unfortunately, you cannot bring your own drinks. Don't worry about how your drinks will stay cool, but you'll be provided with ice! Whether you enjoy an alcoholic beverage or soft drinks - everyone can sip on something refreshing.
Skuna Boats is the perfect outdoor activity if you're looking for a good stress-free buster and soaking in purely relaxing and lovely hot water (which can go up to 38 degrees!). With a unique activity like the Skuna Boats London experience, you'll not only have everyone on board leave with a lifetime memory, but have enjoyed central London in a whole new way.
Skuna Boats Hot Tubs
You can pick from two options for your hot tub boat ride. A hot tub boat guided tour where you can relax as you explore Canary Wharf’s docklands listening to the fascinating history of the area. Or a hot tub sunset docklands cruise where you’ll soak in the sunset in an electric, wood-fired hot tub while sipping on a complimentary cocktail! We know you’ll have a fantastic time!
Don’t forget it’s an all-weather activity! So, come rain or shine – it’s time to sail.

Reviews of Skuna Boats
London Blogger On In London said:
"Chloe Louise and I ticked something off our bucket list as we cruised in a Hot Tub or Hot Tug as they’re called down the Canals near Canary Wharf.
The boat fits 7 people and it really does make for a fun 75 minutes in the water. You can’t be shy on this, as people will want to talk to you or take pics while you’re cruising along. It was all in good fun though, so we didn’t mind."
