So don't take our word for it, see what thousands of our customers are saying about us!
Held up for 2 days due to lock closure but once that was cleared we had a lovely time

Super efficient booking service, seamless checking in and safety review. We arrive slightly early to find our Canal boat was ready for us. We have travelled via Gayton Marina previously and would highly recommend anyone wishing to try a barge for the first time to speak to the team. We will definitely be revisiting and travelling by Gator Marina in the future.

The boat was equipped with everything you needed. I don't think they needed to put in tea and coffee but it was a lovely thought.

The Ashes Lark was perfect for our very first trip in a canal boat. The staff were exceptionally knowledgeable and were very helpful with all of our questions.

I found the whole experience of hiring a canal boat for 6 nights via ABC Boat hire excellent. They were friendly, thorough in their safety briefing and instructions on how to drive boat.
