Information for boaters
River Conditions and Navigation
River flows are low but can spike quickly after heavy rainfall. Be aware of shallows near the river bank and shoals on the inside of bends.
For water levels go to https://flood-warning-information.service.gov.uk/river-and-sea-levels
For flow rates go to http://www.gaugemap.co.uk .
Navigation marks on shoals and underwater obstructions.
When navigating upstream, leave red buoys to the left and green buoys to the right. When navigating downstream remember that the opposite rule applies. Avoid yellow and orange buoys as they mark hazards. For further advice, ask the local duty Lock Keeper.

Annual registration
If you keep your boat anywhere on the non-tidal Thames (including in marinas) you need to register your boat and pay the annual fee or risk being prosecuted for non-compliance. Most boat owners pay for their licence on time. Renewals are being posted out now.
Contact the boat registration team on 03708 506 506.
Speed limit
The speed limit for all vessels (except rowing coach boats training crews) on the non-tidal Thames is 8kph or 4.3kts or 5mph. Do not create wash whatever speed you are navigating at.
Key
- Caution strong stream
- We advise users of all boats not to navigate because the strong flows make it difficult and dangerous.
- Caution stream increasing
- We advise users of all unpowered boats not to navigate and users of powered boats to find a safe mooring. This is because river flows are likely to strengthen and red boards could be displayed very soon and without warning.
- Caution stream decreasing
- We advise users of all unpowered boats not to navigate and users of powered boats to navigate with caution.
