Incredibly relaxing break, very quiet and picturesque. Cruised to the top of Hatton Locks and returned and only saw 6 active other boats. Perfect social week, good family and friends time.

I thought the service by your team was very good especially Paul - we had to come back and have new batteries fitted and he was quick and efficient, turned the boat around for us and off we went.

Fantastiskt fräsch och praktisk båt med fullgod utrustning! Mycket tydlig information före start. Otroligt trevliga omgivningar med hjälpsamma människor både på kanalerna och iland. Så vackert och rogivande färd med stor grönska och spännande fågelliv! Det lever vi på länge!!

I gave 5 stars because staff gave excellent service. Service from every person I had contact with was attentive, helpful, effective, accommodating, reassuring ( for this novice!), and pleasant. Names I recall are: Jason (pre-trip telephone planning), Mandy (email and front desk), and Jay ( on-board training). There were others whose names I do not recall. In addition to customer service, the boat worked! Only thing that could have been better: weather.
