Die historische Stadt Henley-on-Thames befindet sich für Bootsreisende in idealer Entfernung zu den Hauptsehenswürdigkeiten Oxford und Windsor.
Henley ist berühmt für seine jährlichen Regatten und Musikfestivals. Die durch und durch englische Marktstadt bietet ausgezeichnete Geschäfte und Restaurants und ist der perfekte Ausgangspunkt für eine Entdeckungsfahrt per Schiff zu den Geheimnissen der Themse. Die Themse ist eine Metapher für das Gebiet, durch das der geschichtsträchtige Fluss strömt. Ob historische Königsschlösser wie Windsor und Hampton Court oder großartige Themenparks – an der Themse gibt es viele Attraktionen für die ganze Familie.
Die Grafschaft Oxfordshire bildete ebenso wie Berkshire und Buckinghamshire die Kulisse für die fiktive Grafschaft Midsomer, in der die weltberühmte Krimireihe Inspector Barnaby spielt. Wenn man in einem der urenglischen Pubs, in dem Szenen der Reihe aufgenommen wurden, an einem Whisky nippt, fühlt man sich wie Barnaby... Bei Ihrer Linssen-Kreuzfahrt auf der Themse warten viele malerische Midsomer-Drehorte auf Ihren Besuch.
Zwischen den historischen Städten bietet der beschauliche Flusslauf – der Inspirationsquelle für die Romane Der Wind in den Weiden und Drei Mann in einem Boot war – ultimatives Abschalten und Entspannen. Die berühmten Ortschaften an der Themse – Henley, Sonning, Wallingford, Bray, Marlow und Windsor – versprechen in ihren ufernahen Restaurants kulinarische Höhepunkte.

Team Hobbs of Henley: Jonathan and Suzy Hobbs
THE THAMES – HOBBS & LINSSEN. OVER 200 YEARS OF BOATING HISTORY
Established in 1870, Hobbs of Henley Ltd is still a family-run business today and is a byword for chartering luxury-class vessels.
You too can charter a Linssen from Hobbs of Henley and embark on a “culinary cruise”. Sail from town to town and eat in world-famous, top Michelin star restaurants. “On a Linssen boating holiday, you feel as if you’re living a week or more in luxury”, says Jonathan Hobbs. “The Linssen Grand Sturdy ‘9’ Series are very stylish boats, real eye-catchers. For years, luxury yachts of this kind were considered unaffordable on the Thames. But now you can have them!”
From five generations we have gleaned all-round experience on the Thames and enjoy an excellent reputation for our 144 years of first-class hospitality on the river.
You can hire the yachts on a weekly basis from April to October. At certain times of the year, you can also hire for a few days or for a weekend. We offer exclusive day trips with a captain during Regatta week in Henley. A one-week trip will take you either to Runnymede and back downstream or to Oxford and back upstream. To hire a Linssen from Hobbs of Henley, you do not need to have completed an official training course or have a pleasure craft driving licence, but boating experience is essential.
Managing Director Jonathan Hobbs believes that the Linssen Grand Sturdy ‘9’ Series is the perfect complement to his luxury charter fleet. He looks forward to a successful business relationship between the two famous boat companies.
We will be delighted to welcome you to Henley and to share the secrets of our truly “Royal” river with you.
