About Us
At Scholars Punting Cambridge we pride ourselves on every area of our business. Our staff are trained to the highest level in boat control and must pass extensive testing before taking the public on tour. Customer service and historic tour delivery are second to none, we have our own script which must be performed to a high standard. Our boats are built in house to the upmost specification, which includes many features that are only available on our punts. This is facilitated by our dedicated workshop with specialist heating, ventilation and dehumidification, so unlike other punt manufacturers we can use the latest finishes on our craft.
