We were given very clear demonstration and instructions were useful. All staff were very helpful. Started from Gayton Marina. Would definitely recommen.

The information supplied is misleading. During induction you are presented with a map showing water fill overnight stops etc. When you actually arrive at these they are full of permanent live on boats making it almost impossible to stop as an experienced boater I knew to pull up outside of these areas on the bank side, again almost impossible as the sides are so silted up you ground out and the boat tips making for a very uncomfortable night. The canals are so littered with vegetation that on one day we were forced to stop 3 times and unblock the propeller. You are also told as a suggestion at the end of your holiday to moor up the night before at an area upstream at a winding hole used for turning and make use of the bars and restaurants there again virtually impossible as the moorings are full of permanent live on boats. Whilst I can appreciate these problems are outside of ABCs control I think that customers should be made aware of these problems, when I mentioned it in the office I was told, and I quote " Yes we know" .

We found ABC to be a brilliant company to deal with, right from getting advice about routes/boats prior to booking, until we handed the boat back to them after our trip on Saturday. Their staff are super friendly, knowledgeable and professional, full of good advice and willing to give you plenty of time in spite of their busy schedules and tight boat turnarounds. As first timers we were given a brilliant induction and handover, which helped us to feel confident in being able to tackle the challenges of our route while knowing that they were at the end of the phone if we needed anything. When the boat developed a mechanical fault an engineer was with us within an hour to fix it. We have all got the canal boat bug and wouldn't hesitate to go back to ABC for future trips. Thank you for facilitating such a wonderful holiday.

This was our second holiday with ABC so everything was as we expected. That said, the boat interior is starting to look a little tired and having to return at 9am wasn't a positive end to the trip.

We all loved it, it was a great route for first timers and a lovely boat to do it on.

As above, I think that the boat is starting to look tired.

You never fail to deliver. Yes the boat was a bit old but so are the canals as well. The reception when we arrived was excellent. Boat handover same. Which made us get out on the canals asap.
