About Cambridge Punters
The Story so Far...
Cambridge punters was established in 2007, when our mysterious founder Tom Lohman won a punting license in a game of high-stakes poker held in the underground vaults of Kings College. Starting out as a small operation with just one man and one boat, the company quickly established a reputation as the place to go for the discerning local, and the place to work for veteran and maverick punters. Today we have grown, by word of mouth, into a veritable fleet, offering a traditional, unscripted approach to punting. Our chauffeurs train under the most experienced punters on the river, and learn the stories and legends of Cambridge the old fashioned way: By listening to them.
The Crew
Team Members
Tom (Director)
Little is known about Tom Lohman. Some say that he started out as a rogue and a pirate, making his fortune by smuggling rare and exotic silks into the city by punt. Whatever the truth, he still finds time to push the occasional tour, and if you’re lucky, you might just spot him on the river.
Jules (Director)
Although Julian “Jules” Fowler has been a presence on the river for many years it took us until 2017 to convince our co-director to join Cambridge Punters.
Originally brought on as a fashion advisor his role has expanded to include boat maintenance, morale building, and organising our now infamous end of season party.
If your boat doesn’t sink mid-tour, you have Jules to thank! (If your boat does sink mid-tour please contact customer service who will call you back within 6 to 8 working days).
