Scudamore’s Punting Company

No visit to Cambridge is complete without spending time on the River Cam. Established in 1910, Scudamore’s Punting Company has been helping visitors and residents experience Cambridge from the water for over a century. Operating from central Cambridge locations, Scudamore’s offers one of the city’s most comprehensive ranges of river experiences, from traditional chauffeured punt tours to self-hire boating adventures.

For those wishing to discover the famous College Backs, Scudamore’s offers both private College Backs punt tours and shared College Backs punt tours, providing spectacular views of King’s College Chapel, the Bridge of Sighs, the Mathematical Bridge and eight historic Cambridge colleges. Led by a professionally trained chauffeur, these tours combine breathtaking scenery with entertaining and informative commentary, offering one of the most memorable ways to experience Cambridge.

Visitors looking for a hands-on experience can choose from a variety of self-hire options, including:

College Backs Punt Hire
Grantchester Punt Hire

These self-guided adventures allow you to explore either the historic city-centre waterways or the quieter stretches of river leading towards Grantchester Meadows at your own pace.
