Welcome to Oxford River Cruises

Cruising the tranquil Thames in Oxford offers a taste of a slower life, where cares drift away with the gentle flow of the water and life’s pleasures can be enjoyed to their utmost.

Oxford River Cruises offers a range of boat trips, private charters and self drive boat hire to suit all tastes, from lazy lunchtime picnics and sunset dinner cruises, to corporate regattas and birthday parties afloat. Whatever your taste or whim we will endeavour to meet and exceed your expectations.

New - Self Drive Boat Hire in Oxford

We are pleased to announce new additions to our Oxford boat hire fleet. We now offer punting and pedalos in addition to our rowing boats and electric launches - the ideal way to make your next celebration or corporate event really stand out.
