What you can expect

  • Welcome to Poole Boat Hire! Self-drive boats, and no experience is necessary. Explore Poole Harbour's 10,000 acres of open water.

    Find total peace and tranquility by taking a trip around the islands. You can also anchor up and visit our great beaches for a swim.

    Check out Brownsea Island; Shipstal Point; Bramble Bush Bay or the pier at Round Island where you'll find seals! Pack a picnic or wade in to Shell Bay Beach Bar for a drink.

    You could take a slow trip up the river to Wareham and moor up for a drink or an ice cream on the quay. Dogs are welcome too!

    It doesn't matter whether you're an old sea dog, or have never boated before, we will complete a full safety briefing before your time on the water begins.
