We now operate from Brandy Island at Buscot Lock, just near Lechlade, where you can hire everything from small electric powered open boats for a couple of hours, half day and all day cruisers, up to holiday boats for up to 6 adults for a week or so. All our boats need to be booked in advance and most of them can be BOOKED ONLINE by using the orange Price and Book tab.
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, including the historic city of Oxford and the market town of Abindgdon. The Trout Inn has a riverside garden from where the boats depart and in the summer a large marquee is available for shelter.
