Henley Regatta – Charter your Thames Boat
Going to Ascot for a flutter and Wimbledon for the tennis this summer? Another must for your events calendar is one of the most British, the Henley Royal Regatta. Rowing is one of the sports we Brits still dominate the World and where better to watch some of our finest rowers, but at the most well known and visited regatta in the UK at Henley on Thames.
A short train ride out of London Henley is an old English village/town which like London grew around the River Thames. Every year the marquees go up and the marshals set out the course and the whole of the town and surrounding countryside is turned into a most English of venues. Run over 5 days spectators can enjoy some intense action on the course relaxing between races in the hospitality venues along the shores. With fresh fish, fine foods, Pimms and champagne spectating has never been so much fun!
Many of the hospitality organisers provide luxury River Thames boats to allow their guests to get up close to the action. The other advantage of a River Thames boat is that racing can be viewed on the move from different parts of the course. There are also the obvious amenities onboard including a bar, food and toilets. As well as the uninterrupted view of the rowing waiters serving strawberries and champagne add a whole other level to the experience.
The packages are surprisingly affordable too costing no more than a New Years Eve Thames Cruise and with the added advantage of warm summer weather and the races to keep everyone focused on not consuming too much food and drink!
A real must for your annual events calendar and a great excuse to get friends and family together or wine and dine those important business clients.

We helped the boy we had with us to haul the boat up on the landing-stage before we went up to the riverside inn, where we found our new acquaintance eating his dinner in digni- fied loneliness at the head of a long table, white and inhospitable like a snow bank. The red tint of his clear-cut face with trim short black whiskers under a cap of curly iron-grey hair was the only warm spot in the dinginess of that room cooled by the cheerless tablecloth. We knewhim already by sight as the owner of a little five-ton cutter, which he sailed alone apparently, a fellow yachtsman in the unpretending band of fanatics who cruise at the mouth of the Thames. But the first time he addressed the waiter sharply as steward we knew him at once for a sailor as well as a yachtsman. Presently he had occasion to reprove that same waiter for the slovenly manner in which the dinner was served. He did it with considerable energy and then turned to us. If we at sea, he declared, went about our work as people ashore high and low go about theirs we should never make a living. No one would employ us. And moreover no ship navigated and sailed in the |
