The Boat Inn stands on Ramsey Road in Whittlesey, run as a family pub and bed and breakfast by Phil and Maria. The freehold belongs to the licensees rather than a pub company, and the bar serves four changing real ales poured direct from the cask, alongside a collection of more than one hundred whiskies. The lounge holds an unusual boat-shaped bar counter, a nod to the pub's name and to Whittlesey's waterways, which draw anglers, boaters and passing contractors through the door. A twenty-four-hour licence gives the pub flexibility over closing times beyond the usual evening hours. The pub featured in the CAMRA Good Beer Guide and continues to offer overnight rooms to visitors exploring the fens and the Nene Valley.
