Two Scoops

The Scoop is our most popular 7 seater launch. Fitted with cushions for enhanced comfort and now with tables in the bow too. Bring the family and enjoy some time on the river Thames whatever the weather.

The Scoop is fitted with folding biminis which are great for keeping out the harsh sun's rays and for protecting from an unpredictable shower. Driven from the stern so the skipper has good visibility and is very much part of the fun.

Pure Boating offers a number of different self-drive rental boats from our Wallingford, Streatley and our Moulsford base, all of them electric and all of them ideal for blissful river cruising.

All our boats are fitted with trackers, so you have peace of mind when leaving the kiosk area and are out of sight. We can then keep a close eye on your location in case of a problem and also can contact you if we believe you are running behind schedule.

Easy to drive

All our boats are easy to drive with no experience required. On arrival, our experienced crew will instruct you on how to operate the boats, and familiarise you with the rules of the river.

100% electric

Electric boats have very few moving parts. This makes them safe to operate and relatively maintenance free. The batteries are charged up overnight from excess electricity generated by the national grid.

Safe & Quiet

Our electric boats are designed to be safe and easy to drive leading to a stress free boating experience for you and your passengers. The boats run so quietly that they enhance the feeling of being at one with nature. No other boats can surprise the kingfisher mid flight or creep up on a flock of geese.

Environmentally friendly

Electric boats emit no noxious gases or smelly fumes which is not only pleasant for river users, but also helps to keep our rivers clean and pollution free.

Nautical Knot
PureBoating Logo
We are a self-drive and skippered day boat hire company on one of the most beautiful reaches of the River Thames between Reading (Berkshire) and Wallingford (Oxfordshire). Since opening Pure Boating back in 2015 our electric hire boats have silently graced the river between Wallingford and Streatley.

Our crew are passionate about the River Thames and know the boating environment intimately. They can advise not only on river safety and boat operation but also on where to picnic, good riverside restaurants, where the kingfishers fly and the Loddon lilies grow.
