Jones Boatyard

Jones Boatyard is a long-established boatyard (founded 1946) situated on the River Great Ouse between Fenstanton and St Ives, Cambridgeshire, at the centre of the Great Ouse river network.

It offers over 240 moorings for boats up to 40 feet in length, along with workshops, boat sales, and on-site facilities including shore power with metered leads.

A slipway is available for launching, though boaters are advised to call ahead to confirm it is free before arriving.

The yard sits just downstream of St Ives Lock, making it a convenient staging point for exploring the navigable waterway, which stretches roughly 150 miles from Bedford through to the Fens.
