What we offer

Private tours

We specialise in running tours on the small traditional six person punts, either as group tours or private tours.
However, thanks to our strong links with other independent punt operators who operate from the newly opened (May 2008) La Mimosa punt station we can also book tours on the 12 seater ferry punts and arrange large group tours.

Bespoke trips

In addition to the standard punt tour of the backs we regularly provide bespoke trips for special occasions:

Ever thought about taking a trip along the river at sunset, dusk or even after dark?

Perhaps you'd like a longer, more leisurely river tour or maybe you're pressed for time and would like a shorter trip?

Maybe you would like to be collected from a specific location other than the usual departure point? Or dropped of at a restaurant and picked up after the meal?

How about a trip on the upper river (Granta) to the village of Grantchester? A one way trip to Grantchester takes between one and one and a half hours. We can also collect your from Grantchester and punt you to Cambridge.

Maybe you would like to be punted along the lower reaches of the Cam, perhaps passed the college boathouses, or maybe even further downstream to Fen Ditton and beyond?

Do you simply need someone to punt whilst you do some filming/photography?

As a small business we have the flexibility to accommodate just about any request. Get in touch and we can discuss your requirements.

The map shows how to find us, the route we take on the tour and some of the sights you'll see along the way:

Punt for sale

Not really one of our services as such. However we are selling off one of our punts. It is made from Mahogany with a plywood bottom. It was originally built by Two Tees boatyard in Chesterton for St John's college. We have owned it for approximately 2 ½ years and now it's time for it to retire from active service. Please get in touch for more details. Serious enquiries only please.
