So don't take our word for it, see what thousands of our customers are saying about us!
Easy website to find what you’re looking for, easy booking. The marina handover was with very friendly and helpful staff. Unfortunately we found that our fridge wasn’t working on the first day so the very next morning they found us en route and replaced it for us - great service!

A very smooth process. A great set off point.

From start to finish everything was smooth. Anderton Marina was an ideal location to meet friends we hadn’t seen in a while (We are in Bristol and they are County Durham) Our adventures together continued. We had a brilliant time and created lots of new memories! So relaxing and I would definitely recommend this experience for getting off the wheel of life. Mind you prepare for the locks, easy once you get momentum though. Our second time with ABC and would defo recommend ***** Until our next adventure. Thankyou One fault but not ABC’s fault I believe, restaurant on site wasn’t open when we arrived, would have gone for lunch and on the morning when we got back. Would have gone for breakfast!! I also think lots of people had the same idea! Quite a few Norwegians on a similar trip (The moorings restaurant) Strange as they could have made some money!

Love this old style boat! Unfortunately the newer ones don’t have the raised platform for the table and this means that when you’re sitting there you can’t see out of the windows properly without standing up! Although the newer ones have a large shower, they’ve lost a lot of storage space throughout the boat!

Vi är väldigt nöjda med bemötandet och genomgången som vi fick av ABC Boat Hire. Kanalbåten var i fint skick och välutrustad, och vi hade en mycket trevlig och mysig vecka. Vi kommer definitivt att använda ABC även nästa gång.

Pleasant staff. Our trip was a surprise for my husbands 60th birthday. Daughter and 3 grandchildren got there early. They were allowed to check in and onto the boat where they hid and surprised grandad which was lovely. Thank you for that. Lovely relaxing trip enjoyed by us all. Pre trip I had a few queries which were promptly answered which was helpful.

Great relaxing trip. Boat beautiful inside. Plenty of room and all amenities provided for cooking. Husband did cut his foot on corner of shower door so had to buy dressings for it. Need to make others aware.
