Bancroft Cruisers offers 45 minute sightseeing cruises along the River Avon on our traditional passenger boats, with a crew member on board to point out places of interest along the way, such as Clopton Bridge, the riverside Gardens, the hand operated chain ferry, Royal Shakespeare Theatre and Holy Trinity Church. Not to mention the considerable wildlife along the banks of the River Avon. Both of our boats are licensed for the sale of alcohol and we also offer buffet and bar cruises for corporate events, weddings, private parties as well as cream teas and jazz barbecues.

Schools parties are always welcome with a drop off point close to our landing stage at the rear of the Holiday Inn Hotel.
