If you happen to travel down the A4074 towards Oxford stop in at AV Boats by the Benson Waterfront and browse the incredible collection of products "AV Boats" has to offer. Hired 7 canoes for 21 people for my birthday. One way trip and they collected the boats at the end of our journey. Was the most epic fun day and aside from a little sunburn was the best way to start my 40s.
Have used since as have many of the friends who joined me on that day on canoes and other boats. A great experience, excellent customer service. Such a wonderful and relaxed but efficient service on all occasions. Really helpful and friendly. My daughter and I hired a canoe for a couple of hours. Victor couldn't have been more obliging - even provided cushions and a blanket for the boat.

This is the story of Viktor Kmec and how AV Boats came to be. This is a story of starting from humble beginnings and working towards your goal. This is a story of how determination, patient hard work and faith can make one mans dreams come true, this is Viktor's story. With hopes of one day starting and owning his own Canoe, Kayak and Boat business Viktor Kmec set off with a simple plan, start from the bottom and work your way up.
Always stay within the main river channel and follow all directional arrows. If you stray from the marked channel (e.g. up backwaters or weir streams) you risk running aground and damaging the boat. Remember even when you have right of way it remains your responsibility to avoid collision. AV Boats Ltd does not allow navigation after sunset.

I took my son out the four person boat which is normally rented out to those going fishing… I have no doubt it would be great to go fishing on. I don’t fish personally as I have no idea how.
That said we got down passed Clifton lock and back in half a day and my son loved it. To be fair so did I.
Boat was clean and tidy, had sat nav / fish radar on board was easy to use. Customer service from AV was great and it the establishment was easily located.
Will book to go out again!

We rented a canoe for a couple of hours to explore the river Thames near Abingdon. It is an excellent way to spend a sunny afternoon, the view is gorgeous and there are lots of interesting things to look at for children too. It's also a pretty decent workout. The staff is really friendly, welcoming and helpful. The equipment is clean and well maintained. The location is great - just a few minutes walk from the town centre. Looking forward to going again.
