Private Charter

A private charter provides the complete package: Skipper, crew, catering staff, food and drink.

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 The New Orleans and the Hibernia, two of the finest quality passenger vessels on the Upper Thames. In 2004 we acquired The Waterman, our third luxurious modern cruiser.

All three luxurious vessels are berthed at our Henley-on-Thames boatyard which offers excellent embarkation and parking facilities. Centrally situated in the most scenic part of the historic Thames, Henley is an ideal starting point for your day or evening cruise, and Hobbs of Henley the ideal choice for your luxury charter.

For smaller groups we can arrange charters which offer the same luxurious accomodation and service on smaller verssels. Our small boat fleet include Edwardian launches, Umpire's launches and a traditional slipper launch.
