About

The Cambridge Punt Company Boating Station

Established in 2007

We have been running our small punt company since 2007, from an independent local punt station licensed by Cambridge City Council. 

This punt station incorporates seven individually licensed boat owners. The Cambridge Punt Company provides a bespoke, original and personalised punting tour service in a time of large corporate (yes even in the punting world!) homogeneity. We stand out from the crowd. We are a small group – so you will generally see the same people year after year, our staff like us and stay!! Nick and Jo run the business, it will be either one of these who you will talk to when you call us, and a handful of close knit, long serving, deeply knowledgable staff. 

Our manager started life as a punt chauffeur, then a tout, and now he is managing our day to day business – he knows what he is doing, and it shows in our seamless operation (almost always – no robots, so there will be glitches!) We have siblings of our staff wanting jobs when they are old enough, and students returning to us for years in academic holidays. Punting in Cambridge is all we do, so we are pretty darn good at it!

We look forward to your visit.

Jo & Nick

    Fabulous tour with Baby G "The weather was glorious as we approached the friendly staff and embarked on our punting tour... helped into the punt and wrapped in a lovely blanket to keep out any doring chills, we set off."

    Perfect "My mom and I had a lovely, relaxing, and silly time with our punting guide Jobe (or Joe? his subtle French accent had me distracted so I couldn’t tell for sure which). The weather was perfect, we learned some really cool things about Cambridge, its schools and bridges, and all of our questions were answered with a smile. I highly recommend this activity!"
