Reed and Weed Boat Hire

Control the Growth. Protect the Flow.

Aquatic Vegetation, Managed the Right Way

Reeds, duckweed, algae, invasive species. Whatever the challenge, our fleet of aquatic vegetation control boats can keep your inland waterways clear and navigable.


The Rothen Group can operate the vessels for you or supply the tools and machines you need to do it yourself. Whatever your setup, we’ll help you manage aquatic growth efficiently and responsibly.


From site surveys and weed cutting to haulage, composting, and disposal, reed and weed clearance is a major undertaking. Our range of weed boats and support vessels is specially designed for safe, efficient, and environmentally responsible waterway maintenance.
