Where can you go?

We are located at the head of The Thames, so you can hire a boat to cruise the local upper reaches in the Scenic Cotswold and The Thames valley through Southern Oxfordshire, taking a picnic or perhaps visiting a local pub for a river garden lunch.

Know before you go

• You can choose a pick up time to suit you but you still have to be back by the same finish time as booked - ie by 1.00 pm morning half day or by 5pm full day or 5.15pm afternoon rental.
• On line booking is the easiest way to book as it shows live availability & you book securely at any time, day or night! Please only pay a deposit as this reduces your booking fee from 6% to only £3. The balance will be auto collected securely with no additional booking fees usually within 48 hours. You can also book by phone with no booking fees if the office is manned.
• Life jackets can be provided, and recommended for vulnerable adults and those under the age of 16, please ask if you want one and exceptionally have not been offered one.
• Parking is included for one vehicle on site. If you have mobility issues please tick the special requirements box and we can make special arrangements.
• Fuel and VAT at prevailing rate included, £100 security deposit required on day, charged to the same card as booking. Please ask if you require a VAT receipt.
• We are sorry but we cannot generally enter into Hire Agreements with large all adult male or all female parties. We also do not allow more than one boat to be booked by the same party, in effect then a group booking, unless we are notified in advance and have agreed this in writing.

Wet weather policy

Generally once made bookings cannot be cancelled - however we do have a severe wet weather policy. On the early morning of your hire you may receive an email or text like this which means we expect the weather to be very wet/stormy for the duration of your hire - you can opt to take a rain check and reschedule within the next 2 seasons if you received the following message.

• Hi, we are expecting a wet weather day today. You are welcome to come along and make the most of your day, however if you’d prefer us to issue a credit so you can reschedule for another day, please text us on 0794 7993784 with name of boat you were hiring and rain check message. We will issue you a credit note that you can use to rebook.
