So don't take our word for it, see what thousands of our customers are saying about us!
Excellent service and the canal boat was very clean and well stocked with everday items needed. I think it was Simon who got us on board and gave some very useful advice. Would use ABC again and also recommend them to friends as well. One small item - the kitchen bin - got in the way a lot. Would suggest an in cupboard bin on a closer would be well worth while.

För oss var det första gången vi var i kontakt med ABC boat och feedback var toppen.

Jag hyrde nyligen en kanalbåt och min upplevelse var fantastisk! För det första var kundservicen verkligen utmärkt, vilket gjorde processen att hyra båten väldigt smidig och lätt. När jag väl var ombord på båten var jag imponerad av hur ren och väl underhållen den var - det fanns inte en enda fläck eller hårstrå i sikte! Att navigera båten var relativt enkelt, och det fanns gott om utrymme för mig och mina vänner att slappna av och njuta av utsikten. Vi hade också tillgång till ett välutrustat kök ombord, vilket gjorde det möjligt för oss att tillaga utsökt mat medan vi kryssade langsamt längs kanalen. Sammanfattningsvis var detta en fantastisk upplevelse och jag skulle definitivt rekommendera att hyra en kanalbåt till alla som letar efter ett avkopplande sätt att utforska naturen. Kundservicen och båten var båda utmärkta, och själva resan var verkligen minnesvärd!

We had a wonderful time on our 3-day cruise it was a first-time experience for us both and the cruise could not have been made easier. We arrived to such as friendly welcome and an amazing tutorial of how to use the locks and all the important features about the boat it's self how to starting the engine, steering, troubleshooting and the all-important demonstration on how to put all these things into practice down the canal for the first mile of our route, with lots of reassurance and helpful tips on the our chosen route where to stop for water and a good place to stop for the first night. The standard of the boat and all the facilities onboard we're of a top standard we would use this company again for another holiday.

We had a wonderful time on the canal boat and will do it again. In an earlier life I was a Captain in the Merchant Navy commanding ships, I taught shiphandling in the Merchant Marine and U.S. Navy. I also owned a travel agency for seven years. My following comments are positive suggestions. Waterproof anti-fatigue mats to stand on in the stern cockpit would be a useful addition to the vessels Waterproof cushions for the bow seats would also be an excellent option. Dull kitchen knives are dangerous, and the sharpener provided does not work well. Please have them sharpened periodically. Additions to your red handbook. You need to add a section on using a winding hole and turning the vessel. This is not covered at all in the book. On pages 25, 32 & 33 spend more time discussing engine use entering and when in the lock, so someone is not tempted to stop the boat using the front gate. Perhaps one of the greatest dangers is getting the stern line caught in the propeller. While it is noted on page 30, this topic should really be in large red letters. To help avoid propeller line wrapping you may also want to add to page 32 a brief write up on using the midships line to hold a boat alongside for short periods. Perhaps I missed it, but I did not see any notes on canal etiquette. Items such as who enters a lock first, leaving gates open for following boats, politeness and patience. First timers have a lot to deal with and knowing accepted behavior smooths out the adventure. I think that selling the 4 counties ring trip as a 7-night eight-day option is not proper. Perhaps very experienced boaters with everything going their way can do it but even then, it is a bit of a forced march. The four counties ring trip is really a 9-night 10-day trip and should be marketed as such. Just some thoughts.

Boat ready for collection on time and after a brief chat we were on our way. Reception very efficient and gave us alternative ideas to improve our trip. Boat had everything one could need and was in good condition and very clean.On return, staff were ready to assist with mooring and we were soon disembarked and on our way home. Altogether an excellent week. Thank you ABC leisure (Alvechurch Marina) We could well be back.

A fantastic holiday! We had very little boat experience and the guys were helpful and supportive. A unique and fascinating experience.

Staff very helpful, welcoming and friendly. Wifi should be available for the whole period of hire and not be subject to usage (not clearly explained prior to holiday). Fitted sheets for double beds not large enough to fit over mattresses.
