Boyd's Bay Houseboat Holidays offers relaxing and affordable holiday packages that will literally have you drifting off in a world of your own… kicking back on a houseboat on the gorgeous Tweed River. Cruising the Tweed River on a comfortable fully equipped houseboat is like loosening a pressure valve. No road rage. No one knocking at your door. For the full effect, try switching off your mobile phones. This is a Tweed Coast holiday where the days go on forever and the sun gently sets over a river of shimmering gold. Cast a crab pot in around Dodd's Island. Or throw a line in around Bray Park Weir. Then breathe in the tantalising aromas as you barbecue the catch of the day that evening. You won't need a licence; you just need to be over 21 years of age to operate our houseboats. A few simple instructions and you'll be underway. Every boat has an electric winch to drop and raise anchor. And insect screens ensure you sleep like a baby. We have a range of houseboats for hire, accommodating from two to 12 people. Our Tweed Princess even has a spa bath on the top deck. Boyd's Bay Houseboat Holidays Tweed Coast is your ticket to the absolute river experience.
