Such an incredible experience! 100% recommend these guys. We were just passing and decided to try it out and ended up having the best day ever after a pub lunch! Two amazing guys have run this place and make you feel so at ease. They even offered to take these high quality photos free of charge. Amazing boats and even more amazing guys running it :) If you’re in Abingdon area, really recommend paying them a visit

Making the most of the last day of the school holidays. The team at AV Boats were as helpful as always and made our impromptu outing very easy. We hadn’t booked ahead, but that was no problem: there was a great choice of equipment including life jackets and they were kind enough to safely store our belongings. It’s not the first time we’ve used AV Boats and we will definitely be going back again and again.

The staff were very friendly and accommodating to all of our needs. We didn’t feel rushed in any way and there was a relaxing vibe throughout the whole experience. The staff provided us with great advice of where to go to get the most out of our time there. A wonderful experience that we would happily go back to and again in the same or another kayak/boat.
