SELF DRIVE BOAT HIRE - ROSE O’ DEA

Rose O’Dea, is a charming traditional wooden launch with comfortable seating for up to 10 people and plenty of room for a picnic. Fitted with a brand new diesel engine, she is extremely easy to drive and manoeuvre.

Now based at the picturesque Beetle and Wedge hostelry in Moulsford where lunch, dinner,a picnic or a pint can be combined with a few hours or a whole day out on this charming reach of the mid Thames.

Originally a steam launch, Rose O’Dea, was recently extensively rebuilt in Norfolk and has been fully refurbished to a high standard with varnished wood interior and comfortable cushions. She has a smart burgundy canopy with roll-up sides to keep off the sun (and the rain!).

Rose is the ideal self drive classic for the discerning boater who wants a user friendly launch which they would be proud to own. She is ideal for picnics, weddings, lazy afternoons on the river or even for camping adventures. So pack a picnic or even a tent and let us take care of the rest.
For the big occasions of the summer season such as Henley Regatta or Henley Festival of Music and the Arts we can offer a day or an evening on the river with a skipper and a hamper. What better way to enjoy the world's best regatta than out there cruising the course ?

Join us at the Henley Festival where we have a wonderful bankside mooring close to the floating stage. Join us there for aperitifs while we cruise the Henley Reach before you disembark for dinner ashore; admire the fireworks afloat, use us as a water taxi to the station or to Phyllis Court.
