Our Story

Henley River Boats was set up by university friends Andrew and Charles. After 25 years working in big-businesses they decided it was time to set up a small business around their passion for boating

Growing up, neither was ever far from water.  Andrew, born in Jersey, spent much of his youth in turquoise crystal seas surrounding the island.  Charles grew up near the coast of Pembrokeshire, Wales, where it rained a lot.
