If I wanted to hire...

[Steve Clayton]

.... a boat on the Thames say from Friday mid afternoon to noon(ish) on the Monday who/where would you recommend?

(I'm currently down to a choice of 2 but thought I would ask the team)

Chertsey Marine might be able to help (Chris Fields)

 

[Brayman]

Benson Hire or Kris Cuisers at Datchett. Benson for the prettier part of the river.

I agree with Ian. Benson and Kris have nice new boats some are almost indistinguishable from private boats.

Aye, I second that. Chertsey Meades Marine Bev is my contact there. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Keep 'em coming. I can call in at Benson any time at the mo and Chertsey is an area of the Thames we've only done the once and that was taking our Eastwood 24 away from the broker we bought from.

This one currently is tops http://www.swanhotelradcot.co.uk/activities.html and I'm waiting to hear from them.

Is that the 'Bev' that worked for years for Mike Turk at Kingston? If so give her my regards when you next see her.

Me too.
Most of the other hire outfits still have the same boats as they did when I still had an interest in a hire company and that was 20 years ago. They weren't new then!
