Hobbs of Henley's vessels and staff operate within a Code of Conduct adhered to by the Passenger Boat Association and governed in their operation by The Maritime and Coastguard Agency. Our safety standards are over and above the levels required and insurances meet the existing statutes recommended by Maritime Law.
Hobbs have perpetually moved with the times without in any way losing the quality of personal service and those desirable standards of nineteenth century courtesy set by its founders. With this background of boating service, Hobbs of Henley commissioned the design and construction of two of the finest quality passenger vessels on the Upper Thames, and have acquired in 2004 The Waterman, a luxurious modern cruiser.
We operate a fleet of small skippered vessels (not self drive) on which customers are welcome to provide their own catering. They are ideal for Regatta Days, Festival evenings or lazy summer afternoon picnics.
Let our experienced skippers take the helm whilst you and your party enjoy the beauty and splendour of the river at Henley. Pre booking is essential.
