So don't take our word for it, see what thousands of our customers are saying about us!
Excellent organisation, well equipped boat and lovely weather!

The boat and staff were excellent but the holiday was curtailed by having to pick up the boat in Stoke rather than at Gailey. I understand this was outside of the control of the boatyard but nevertheless meant that we lost several miles of our cruising route and in particular a visit through Stone which has some sentimental value to me.

Toilets probs fest part of time

We had a bad experience at Middlewich locks at the beginning of our holiday and it unnerved us. We accept it was our lack of experience but the handover session should be more descriptive on what to expect and how to operate the locks safely, so we may have been better prepared. This is particularly important for any clients heading south through the busy multiple locks at Middlewich. My wife and I are pensioners and were totally out of our depth during the passage through the locks. The online video does not prepare you nor does the handover discussion which only concentrated on the way locks fill but does not cover how to fill them safely. We realise now the sluices were opened too quickly and the turbulence made the boat almost uncontrollable in the lock. We worried about coming back through and brought the boat back 3 days early. As it happened retuning back through was easier as we were travelling downstream and some of the locks were manned by volunteers, but our holiday had already been spoilt by our initial experience.

We were very delayed leaving the marina as a wardrobe door catch was faulty. in the end it couldn’t be replaced as no spares so was jammed shut with a piece of wood. other than that it was all good.

The boat was in good condition and very clean. Well kitted out. Staff were friendly and helpful. Would definitely use ABC boats again.

loved every minute or our trip

Boat was comfortable. Shower worked well. Toilet, not so good, surprised it filled and indication went red. In my view very wasteful use of water in flushing. We were careful when using the toilet.

All very nicely thought out. As first time boaters we felt completely re-assured after the pre-trip instruction and video advice. The trip to Chester was great fun - and everyone in the group thoroughly enjoyed the experience. I know you don't have much time - but a little instruction at the beginning on dealing with the boat in REVERSE would have been helpful.
