We have 2 classic wooden motor cruisers, and currently 3 16ft wooden clinker day boats from the 50's and 60's. Plans to include rowing boats, canoes and some paddle boards next season!
Situated on the banks of the beautiful River Thames in open countryside, Benson Waterfront is the perfect place to start your boating holiday.
Your self drive boating holiday: Spend your days cruising the Thames, enjoying the wildlife, the scenery and the pleasure of the river…..
We now run a ferry service from the Waterfront at Benson Marina, over to the lock cut at Benson Lock, due to the closure of the bridge over the weir....
We are now officially closed until Spring 2025.
Hopefully winter won’t be too bad and Spring will start early and enable us to get back on the water early!
We will keep you posted 🙂
We are the only holiday hire company on the upper Thames who hire out classic wooden motor cruisers. We have a Bates Star Craft, known for it’s style and innovation in the Industry, built in 1952, and a 28ft cruiser- totally refurbished – quite possibly from Dunkirk times!
Please note – we do require there to be at least one capable person on board, who has previous boating experience.
We also have a small fleet of wooden Day Boats, to hire by the hour or day. Canoes and rowing boats will be added soon.
We hope you enjoy looking at our website! Please give us a ring, or drop us an email, if you have any questions at all – be great to hear from you.
Happy Boating !
