Scudamore's Punting Company

A punt is a square-ended boat which has a flat bottom with no keel and is usually propelled using a long pole.

Punts were developed in Medieval times to provide stable craft which could be used in areas of water too shallow for rowing conventional craft.

Punts were introduced to Cambridge as pleasure craft in Edwardian times. One of the pioneers of punt hire on the River Cam was F. Scudamore, who founded his business in 1910, quickly establishing punting as Cambridge's favourite pastime. Today, Scudamore's Punting Company owns the world's largest fleet of punts, with nearly 150 craft available for hire along two routes.
