The Rutherford’s Story
Our Journey of Innovation
2020 – Lockdown Grant: During the challenging lockdown period, we received a grant that would change the future of Rutherford’s Punting forever.
Design & Development: We partnered with expert craftsmen to design custom moulds for a revolutionary new punt design featuring raised, comfortable seating.
Craftsmanship: Each punt was carefully constructed using traditional boat-building techniques combined with modern ergonomic design principles.
2026 – Arrival: Our beautiful new punts with raised seating arrived just in time for our 10th Anniversary celebration in April 2026.
