About Skuna Boatds
BBQ on a boat? In London? Oh yes – welcome to Skuna Boats!
These self-drive electric boats come with a gas BBQ built into the centre, so you can cook your feast while steering past Canary Wharf’s skyscrapers. No licence or boating experience needed, just bring your appetite and your best grill-master energy.
Perfect for families, birthday parties or just an excuse to get out of the house and do something completely different. So what are you waiting for?
Nope. You’ll get a full safety briefing before you set sail.
Yes. Bring your own BBQ treats to make sure everyone gets what they want. Or you can pre-order a pack from Skuna.
Absolutely. All sizes are available and must be worn by children.
No toilets on a Skuna Boat, but there are loos at the dock. Just swing back mid-trip if someone’s caught short.
Each boat has a big umbrella for drizzle. Or steer under a bridge. Just dress sensibly, this is still the UK. If it’s serious rain, then you get the option to reschedule.
Yes, boats are slow and steady. Kids must be supervised and weare life jackets at all times.
Definitely. Skuna can handle up to 100 people across ten boards. Perfect for birthdays, big groups or just showing off.
You won’t be setting sail for the high seas, but you will enjoy a scenic circular route around London’s Docklands, right in the heart of Canary Wharf. You can’t venture onto the Thames (no tidal waves with your sausages, sorry).
Not really, but don’t wear suede. The Skuna Boats are stable, slow-moving, and designed for comfort, not thrills. You’re not splashing through rapids, you’re gliding through calm docklands at a gentle pace.
Layers, trainers, and something you don’t mind smelling a bit like BBQ smoke. Oh – and maybe a waterproof jacket if the forecast looks dodgy.
Nope. Anyone under 18 needs a grown-up on board. BBQs + boats = rules.
