How it works & FAQs

We know it’s a little different to your standard, stationary, on-land sauna…

Please dive into the below for some extra clarity & feel free to email/instagram us if you have any further questions

  • The boat moves every two weeks. We announce each month as we go

    We can tell you the rough area we will be in, but the specific location is kept secret until we arrive.

    • June 1st → June 14th: Hackney Wick

    • June 15th → June 28th: Hoxton

    • June 29th → July 12th: Victoria Park

    • July 13th → July 26th: Angel

    Right now, the boat is a bit off the beaten track, but in a beautiful spot near Hackney Wick

    If on Lime, recommend parking up near Dace Road then walking down :)

    Next Spot: From Monday 15th-29th June, we’ll be in Hoxton, very near to Shoreditch Park.

  • In the front 3rd of the boat, we have a generous 12-person wood-fired sauna with large windows looking onto the canal.

    The middle 3rd is our plunge room, with 2 custom build ice baths (one colder, one a bit less cold) and 2 showers (both hot/cold). We also have swan-hatches as seating for you to relax and enjoy more canal-views.

    The back 3rd is the reception, bar and changing area with 3 changing booths, lockers, a WC, and a café/bar where we provide complimentary tea & coffee, electrolytes and optional non-alcoholic drinks to purchase - including Lucky Saint and our house hydrating mocktail, the SOAK Sour by our close friends at Bar With Shapes for a Name.

    The back deck is where you arrive & leave your shoes. It remains open throughout your session for you to sit and soak in the surroundings.

    We also provide you with a towel to sit on and a towel to dry with, as well as compost bags to take your wet swimwear home in.

  • Follow our ‘book sessions’ & ‘book private hire’ buttons on our homepage.

    You’ll find our schedules for both.

    You can buy memberships, credits or pay for one-off sessions with ‘QuickPay’.

    If you have any questions or issues with the booking system, please contact float@soakbathhouse.co.uk

  • All you need is your swimwear.
    We provide towels - one for sitting on in the sauna and one for drying.
    We also provide hydration throughout, with options to purchase further refreshment if desired.

  • The boat will remain at its mooring during all sessions. i.e. you’ll get off exactly where you came on :)

  • Yes, you can book for a group to join a public session, or you can book the entire boat for up to 12 guests in total.

    To book as a group for public sessions, we’ll need everyone’s details at booking to ensure all waivers are signed.

    For Private Hire, once you make your booking, we’ll be in touch to arrange waivers, etc. as seamlessly as possible.

  • You can cancel your individual booking online up to 12 hours before the beginning of the session, and 72 hours before for private sessions.

    Go to your profile by clicking on your name either in the top right-hand corner (on desktop) or in the drop-down (on mobile). Then, click on upcoming bookings and you can cancel from there.

    Your credit will be refunded to your account, which you can then redeem on another booking of the same type of session. We're not able to offer cash refunds, unless there are exceptional circumstances, as our payment processor charges for these.

    Unfortunately, we do not offer credit refunds for late cancellations (within 12 hours for individual sessions and 72 hours for private sessions). However, if you would like to transfer your ticket to a friend, please email float@soakbathhouse.co.uk with their name and email address and we will transfer the ticket free of charge.

    If you have any other questions, please contact us and we'll get back to you as soon as we can.
