Bossoms Marina

Bossoms Marina sits on Fiddler's Island in a peaceful side channel of the Thames at Binsey, Oxford, operated by the long-established Bossoms Boatyard on Binsey Lane.

Its 50 walkway berths have been described as the most beautiful mooring on the Thames, offering views of the Oxford spires rising over Port Meadow, England's oldest Common.

The Rainbow Bridge provides easy towpath access to historic Binsey Village and the Perch Inn.

Located less than a mile from Oxford city centre, the marina connects boaters to the uncrowded upper reaches of the Thames, the Oxford Canal, and the broader British inland waterways network.

Access to the lower Thames is also possible, subject to air draught at Osney Bridge. The boatyard itself has roots stretching back to around 1830 and remains active in boat building today.
