Accommodation on board a boat provides a comfortable alternative to a hotel room. Boats offer flexibility - choose to use it as a base in one place or use it to cruise the waterways, stopping at desired destinations. The boat will be supplied with diesel (payable on arrival) and a full water tank - enough for 2-3 days. Water stations can be found at intervals along the waterways.
Two people over the age of 18 are required as a minimum for all boat hires. Boat collection is from 4 pm on the first day of the charter and must be returned by 9 am to the pick-up point. A collision damage waiver is included for every charter, irrespective of whether the boat will cruise. This provides cover if the boat or any of its equipment or inventory is returned damaged or lost, or if there is any incidental damage to third parties. On arrival, visitors will be taken out onto the waterway for a hands-on demonstration and given an indepth briefing on everything. Each boat is equipped with a first-aid kit, fire blanket and fire extinguishers. The boats must be returned to the base reasonably clean, i.e. with all bedding stripped, all crockery and utensils cleaned and restored, floors swept, decks mopped and rubbish neatly bagged ready to go ashore.
