Thames Boating Holidays and Day Boats

Our Services

Our Boats

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!

Benson Waterfront

Situated on the banks of the beautiful River Thames in open countryside, Benson Waterfront is the perfect place to start your boating holiday.

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…..

Benson Ferries / Day Boats

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....

Ferry Update

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 🙂
