BOATMAN’S BACK CABINS
(Fitted to Holly, Willow, Maple & Larch)
These are authentic replicas of the living accommodation of the old working craft and we were the first company to incorporate them into modern hire boats. Stepping down from the steerer's ‘counter’ on to the coal box, you enter a snug, private world finished in the correct wood graining with hand decorated panels featuring the traditional roses and castles. There is a small solid fuel stove on your left for heating or cooking, then the decorated drop down table cupboard with crumb drawer below and on the right the sidebed or settee. Ahead is the double ‘cross’ bed which folds out across the boat with decorated flap, then the door leading to the rest of the boat.
On ‘Willow’ and ‘Maple’ there are also traditional engine controls- separate gear change rod and throttle speedwheel - to complete the picture.

GRADING SYSTEM*

Each boat has been given a class rating that relates to the age, condition, and equipment supplied. These factors are reflected in the pricing. The grading is as follows.

Budget (B)- The oldest boats in our fleet, with no frills and a dated interior, 12v supply only (option to hire a 2kw inverter), full inventory and bedding supplied. Ideal for first time boaters or same sex groups (Stag and Hens).
Standard (S) - Newer than the budget boats but still older boats than the rest, 12v supply only (option to hire a 2kw inverter), full inventory and bedding supplied.
Standard + (S+) - Nice comfortable spacious boats, well laid out and of a newer design and fit out or of a traditional style. Most with fixed double beds. 12v supply (option to hire a 2kw inverter some with invertors fitted inc toaster, kettle and microwave), full inventory and bedding supplied.
Premium (P) - The newest narrowboat holiday boats in the fleet, built to a high standard. Some are fitted with fixed double bedrooms with en-suite and are all very spacious. All are fitted with a 2-3kw inverter giving the user's 230v for all domestic type equipment such as hair dryers and games consoles. Each has a toaster, kettle and microwave fitted in their large kitchens. CD/MP3 players with AUX sockets are also fitted (some have waterproof out side speakers).
