About us
Bygone Boating is a fairly new company to the boating holiday industry, having just finished our 7th season!!
We are still relatively small, and will never be too big to not give a personal service. We will be adding new craft as they get restored, to grow the ‘fleet’. See ‘Our Boats’.
Personal Friendly Individual
Did you know?
Our philosophy:
- To always go that extra mile.
- Treat our guests' holiday, as if it were our own.
- Fit our boats out to be as comfortable and as functional as possible
Please note that our season (and most hire boat businesses on the Thames) runs from April to October. The last few Octobers have been very wet, and the Thames has been in flood. This makes the river dangerous for boats, therefore we have made the decision to close after the first week of October for the foreseeable future – sorry!
We always welcome your feedback, Facebook best option, or email us.
We love wooden boats. We love our wooden boats and we hope you do too!
We do all the work on them ourselves – although, admittedly, Jeff definitely does the bulk of the work – but I help as much as I can.
We have now added day boats to our little fleet. They are again from bygone days – 50’s and 60’s! Wooden, clinker built with engines, either inboard or outboard. We have Windy, from Lake Windemere, Mistral from Cornwall and Breeze a locally sourced boat.
Further updates soon…….
