Established in 1839 and now a firm fixture in the summer sporting calendar, Henley Regatta is a unique opportunity to socialise, celebrate and entertain on the river whilst watching some of the highest standard rowing in the world.
As English as you can get, the town of Henley is the perfect host for this international event. Champagne flows, corks pop and boaters and blazers are the order of the day.
During the regatta, our boats follow the rowing up and down the course, providing you with a front row seat with a full bar onboard. Silver service waiting staff are on hand to tend to your requirements so you don’t have to miss a moment of the action.
Following the regatta, Henley Festival promises a unique experience and our boats provide the perfect venue to host pre-entertainment drinks or dining party.
You & your guests will be welcomed aboard at one of our riverside boarding points, Copas (with parking) or Henley River & Rowing Museum (close to the station) with refreshing drinks. Slipping our lines, the party will cruise along the Henley Regatta course, passing Temple Island and the full length of the regatta, under Henley Bridge before turning at the top of the town and returning down the course.
A three-course gourmet lunch will be prepared by our exclusive chef for you and your guests and served with carefully selected wine.
After lunch (or during if you prefer) we will cruise up the regatta course as racing heats up for the afternoon, giving you unprecedented views of the rowing.
We will offer have a full waitered bar service throughout the day and our waiting staff will be on hand to attend to your every need.
We are able to offer fine dining for all tastes and our onboard chef will be pleased to discuss different menu ideas to create a bespoke, gourmet meal for yourself and your guests. For example:
Carefully chosen wine to compliment.

Party sizes can vary from 20-50 (depending on dining requirements). Smaller parties are welcome but will be subject to a minimum charge.
