About
We are based at the heart of the Upper Thames and cruise through some of the most stunning reaches of the Thames from Henley and Sonning up to Goring and Streatley.
Established in 1973 our family business has grown from simple roots when we had one small open launch ferrying people between Caversham in Reading and Mapledurham. These days we have a diverse fleet of river boats that offer both a scheduled tripping service and private charter.
The view from our boats changes every day as the river ebbs and flows, seasons change and people glide by. We have Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire on our door step with amazing open countryside, picture postcard villages and no shortage of photo opportunities, it is hard not to fall in love with what we do, we are passionate about The River Thames!
Our boats are key to the operation, from our very own Little Ship of Dunkirk all the way up to our multi deck party and restaurant boats, they are our pride and joy.
Take a party or trip on one of our boats and you will find our highly trained staff on board ready and keen to help. From the skipper and crew, to bar and waiting staff, our aim is to meet your every need. We like to think we know the river like the back of hand but don't think we are stuck in the past like old river dogs, we have modern conveniences on board, great local food and tipples.
Come and join us on the river, take a trip, see the wildlife and scenery or party the night away in the coolest venue in town. We welcome you to the River Thames!
