Launches embody 300 years of tradition

EMBODYING 300 years of tradition, Peter Freebody & Co specialises in sublime luxury wooden river launches hand-crafted by our family business based in the tranquil village of Hurley in the calm backwaters of the mill pond just five miles from Henley.

If you are considering a first venture into boating, we can provide an easy and enjoyable introduction into boat ownership — with moorings at the boatyard on one of the prettiest stretches of the Thames and full after-sales service in the way of maintenance, engineering services and winter storage.

Within our riverside workshop you’ll step back in time amongst the sawdust and smell of cedar and mahogany to view the many slipper launches, Rivas, electric canoes and steam launches being prepared for this coming season, while also noticing the modern-day touches our new-builds enjoy which make the quintessential dream of life on the river a reality.

Unsurpassed beauty, classic lines and more than 300 years of family tradition right on your doorstep.
