Kentish LadyRiver Cruises

Kentish Lady is a river cruise operator working the Upper Medway between Maidstone and Allington Lock, run by Hire Cruisers Limited from the Undercliffe Boathouse on Bishops Way. Its main boat runs one-hour return trips at weekends and during school holidays between April and October, departing Maidstone on the hour and Allington Lock on the half-hour, with commentary and a licensed bar on board. Passengers can break their journey at Allington to visit Allington Castle or the lock itself before returning on a later sailing. Adult, child, and family fares are available, tickets are sold on the day rather than by advance booking, and the boat is wheelchair accessible. The business has operated on this stretch of the Medway for more than twenty years, offering one of the few working boat trips based in Maidstone itself.
