The weekend timetable will operate on Bank Holidays
This timetable runs seven days a week.
Tate Britain and Tate Modern are closed every year on 24-26 December inclusive and the Tate Boat does not run on these days.
Access
The Tate Boat can accommodate wheelchair users. It cannot accommodate mobility scooters.
However, exceptionally high tides mean that the Tate Boat cannot navigate certain Thames bridges and a replacement vessel may be used at these times. Some replacement vessels are not able to accommodate wheelchair users so we strongly recommend that customers call 020 7887 8888 on the day of travel for further details.
Guide and hearing dogs are welcome on the Tate Boat.
About the Tate Boat
The Tate Boat is operated by Thames Clippers. A replacement vessel will be used if tidal restrictions apply.
