Cambridge · Est. MMXXIV
Private, bespoke, unhurried. Every detail curated to perfection on the River Cam — from the first champagne pour to the last gloved hand extended.
The Silver Oar Difference
While others offer packages, we offer possibilities. No two journeys are alike, because no two guests are alike.
Your punt, your river, your moment. We never share boats or combine parties. The Cam becomes entirely yours for the duration of your experience.
Every element is crafted around your vision — the champagne, the florals, the route, the timing. You imagine it; our concierge team makes it happen.
From the moment you arrive to the final farewell, our trained staff attend to every detail. Impeccably dressed, quietly attentive, entirely at your service.

What Our Guests Say
A handful of words from guests who trusted us with their most important moments.
"I proposed to my partner on The Grand Tour and she said yes before I'd even finished the question. The team had arranged the florals, the photographer hidden on the bank — everything was beyond what I could have imagined. Worth every penny and more."
Proposal, June 2025
"We flew in from Singapore for our anniversary and The Silver Oar was the absolute highlight of the trip. The cashmere blankets, the oysters, the way our punter knew exactly when to give us silence — extraordinary. We will return every year."
Anniversary, August 2025
"I arranged The Masterpiece experience for a private client visit. The level of discretion and attention to detail matched anything I've experienced at the finest hotels in London. Our guests were completely enchanted. The Silver Oar is in a category of its own."
Corporate Hospitality, September 2025
