The Classic Boat Collection comprises a range of stylish, iconic river launches operated by Henley Sales & Charter Ltd., specialists in the charter business since the late eighties.

No-one knows the mid reaches of the Thames better than the HSC team who provide the perfect boat for any occasion, and can reserve restaurants and hotel rooms, advise on picnic spots, provide the picnic or even your very own on-board chef.  Our cruising ground extends from Windsor to Oxford and covers some of the most beautiful river vistas in the U.K. as well as world renowned landmarks such as Windsor Castle and the Henley River &Rowing Museum.

For 2010 and beyond the Classic Boat Collection includes a choice of 3 12-seater launches with skipper, 3 for 8 passengers, and 2 for larger parties of up to 30 passengers including a Victorian steam launch.

For total indulgence why not treat yourselves to a holiday on ‘New Venture’! She celebrates her 50^th birthday in 2010 and combines the comforts of 21^st Century living (wifi, decent shower, heating, electric loo, etc.) with the elegant styling of the mid nineteen fifties - the era of the mini, the Riva and Breakfast at Tiffanys.
