Boats are available to
hire 52 weeks a year.
Short Breaks: Normally 3 night
weekend or 4 night midweek at about 65%
of the weekly charge. Availability
varies – please enquire.
Out of Season: Late Autumn and
Winter hire (November and December) is
becoming more popular; the boats are
warm, the canals quiet and the prices
low! Route restrictions may apply.
Christmas Hire: For a really
memorable Christmas, eat your turkey
afloat! Cosy centrally heated boats,
festive canal side pubs, and some
cruising thrown in. What could be nicer?
BOAT VIEWING - We will be
delighted to show you the boats, but
please telephone or email first to
ensure both we and the boat you want
will be available! |

Hardship Cancellation
Scheme (The cost is shown on the booking form)
Once a boat has been booked you are
responsible for paying the full hire
fee, even if you have to cancel your
trip. We, therefore, have a scheme
which you can take out to guard against
this. This insurance is valid from the
time we receive your signed booking form
until boat boarding
commences and covers cancellation due
to:
1. Redundancy and subsequent
unemployment.
2. Jury service of any of the named
members of the party.
3. Death, illness, accident or maternity
affecting named members
or their parent, parent-in-law, sibling,
spouse or child.
Cancellation for any other reason does
not qualify.
It is necessary that the cancellation is
supported by evidence such as a Doctors
certificate, and that we are notified
immediately in writing. Upon receipt
of the satisfactory evidence, we will
forego the balance due to us and return
the money paid. Our decision in any case
will be final.
Damage Cover
Damage Cover is included in the hire
price and relieves you of any further
liability towards loss or damage to the
boat with the following exceptions:
1. Rudder & Tiller.
2. Roof equipment (boat shafts,
chimneys, TV aerial and Buckby can where
supplied).
3. Malicious damage & negligence.
4. Speeding.
5. Returning a boat late or in a dirty
condition.
6. Ceramic cooker hob.
7. Damage to 3rd Party vessels.
