The reservation and payment for the boat via homepage / internet from Germany was good. Also questions were answered directly.

It was a wonderful trip to Christelton (Chester) with a perfect running boat from ABC. The boat itsself was excellent serviced. Also the recommendations regarding the trip at the reception office was very kind and helpful. Thanks a lot for that. We will come back!

The entire team was amazing! We arrived a little early - but that wasn't a problem in the slightest. We did our induction and off we went! The boat - as usual - was immaculate and there was everything aboard we need to make or break plain sailing! We even got a 20% discount at a local eatery in Whitchurch - The Black Bear (See VERY positive review for them on their page!)...

Easy website to find what you’re looking for, easy booking. The marina handover was with very friendly and helpful staff. Unfortunately we found that our fridge wasn’t working on the first day so the very next morning they found us en route and replaced it for us - great service!

A very smooth process. A great set off point.

From start to finish everything was smooth. Anderton Marina was an ideal location to meet friends we hadn’t seen in a while (We are in Bristol and they are County Durham) Our adventures together continued. We had a brilliant time and created lots of new memories! So relaxing and I would definitely recommend this experience for getting off the wheel of life. Mind you prepare for the locks, easy once you get momentum though. Our second time with ABC and would defo recommend ***** Until our next adventure. Thankyou One fault but not ABC’s fault I believe, restaurant on site wasn’t open when we arrived, would have gone for lunch and on the morning when we got back. Would have gone for breakfast!! I also think lots of people had the same idea! Quite a few Norwegians on a similar trip (The moorings restaurant) Strange as they could have made some money!
