Frequently Asked Questions - Page 1

DAY HIRE

Sorry, but we do not operate day hire as our boats are equipped with sleeping accommodation. Our minimum rental period is 3 nights, but you can bing the boat back earlier if you wish.

TUITION

You do not need any previous experience, or a boat licence, you will be given all the training you need to get started. The waters are mostly current free and cruising speed is only three to four miles per hour making operating a canal boat child's play.

ARRIVAL AND DEPARTURE

We ask that you arrive at 1:30 pm on your arrival day in order to provide sufficient time to check-in, load the boat and receive the training and tour. On your day of departure, you will need to vacate the boat no later than 9:30 am as we wish to avoid potentially penalising the incoming guests.

MOORING OVERNIGHT

You can moor up wherever you want, just tie up by a towpath so you can get on and off the boat easily, or better still outside a pub!!

WHAT'S INCLUDED

Water is free and we give you a British Waterways key on arrival so you can use the waterpoints. Gas and pump-outs (if necessary) are included in the narrowboat hire price you pay.

HOW MUCH HEIGHT IS THERE IN THE BOAT

The height inside the boats is 6ft 4in.

FUEL / DAMAGE WAIVER / CANCELLATION INSURANCE

Fuel, damage waiver and cancellation protection are calculated on the booking form for you and added to the base price.
