Your recent holiday on Swift - Tepui Swift from Aldermaston Wharf

Easy to deal with. Would recommend them to others

01 Oct 2025

Customer Services

Thank you for your feedback! We're so pleased to hear you found us easy to deal with and would recommend us to others. The Aldermaston to Reading stretch can certainly be a bit more demanding, so we appreciate you taking it on and hope the journey was still enjoyable overall. We’d love to welcome you back again for another canal adventure—perhaps on a slightly gentler route next time! Many thanks from all of us at ABC Boat Hire!

Your recent holiday on Wren - Inca Wren from Whitchurch Marina

Boat good apart from not steering too well in the wind and not liking shallow water like other boats we have hired from you aso it used a lot more fuel we thought it was coming to the end of it's working life

Thank you so much for your honest and helpful review! We're delighted to hear you enjoyed the cruising experience and found our staff friendly, informative, and easy to deal with. It’s great to know the marina was easy to find and that you’d recommend us to others. We appreciate your feedback regarding the boat’s handling and fuel usage. While some boats can be more sensitive to wind and shallow water, especially toward the end of their hire life, we’ll be sure to pass your comments on to our maintenance team for review. We're glad this didn’t stop you from having a good trip overall, and we’d love to welcome you back again soon. Many thanks from all of us at ABC Boat Hire!

Your recent holiday on Tern - Common Tern from Wrenbury

Check-in and safety procedures very good. Boat was well equiped, clean and maintained. if possible would have given a 4.9 rather than a 4 rating only because of a couple or so niggles but overall, would definately recommend ABC boat hire & Wrenbury Mill Marina.
