A fun day out

Published on Sep, 2024

A great day for all the family we all had a go at steering the boat, a bit tricky at first but you soon get the hang of it. The boat company were very good at explaining everything, we will be doing it again soon.

Brilliant day, would def recommend

Published on Jul, 2024

We arrived to be great by a really lovely and very helpful instructor who had alot of patience’s with me. After we had completed our instructions we set off. The boats weren’t to hard to control. The weather wasn’t the best but it didn’t spoil our fun! We decided to take a picnic. The boats were kicked out with a portable table and cutlery which made it even easier for us to enjoy our day. On our return, they were on hand to help us steer the boats into the assigned moorings and luckily we did so well we got a great cheer from all the people from the pub watching us.

Fun on the canal

Published on Sep, 2023

Absolutely fantastic, my sister and I are from the United States. I owned a pontoon boat rental service in Michigan. This was a great experience, and I would recommend anybody with a little bit of boating experience can figure it out the canal system is a very unique system that the United Kingdom has, if you like to boat then everybody should experience it. Very tranquil and relaxing.

A good day out

Published on Aug, 2023

A brilliant experience for the whole family. Teenagers got on board thinking it was a boring way to travel- till………We came to the first gate …after that they were fully engrossed in steering, manoeuvring and opening gates. My daughter was apprehensive about her dog but he was engrossed to watch ducks swans and wildlife along the banks !!

Great experiences!

Published on Jun, 2023

Weather is nice, and the time spent on boat are really happy! We learned how to control the boat, how to open and close the bridge, great fun! Highly recommended!
