River Thames

Morning Everyone

Could anyone recommend a good place to launch a 4.8 meter rib in the River Thames near Oxford only because I am used to the solent and the Southampton waters however I don't always get the time to travel anymore so im looking for opportunities closer to home so it doesn't matter if it just a free afternoon

thanks in advance

I haven’t used any slipways around Oxford, but there are some suggestions on Boatlaunch and maybe someone else will have more info.

For a boat on a trailer then probably start with Abingdon Marina and work out from there?
