Your recent holiday on Wye - Baldrik from Whitchurch Marina

I have hired many craft from abc, The viking boats as you know are not up to standard of your other boats. It would be good to have the extra electrics, points,microwave etc. The air vents in roof do leak with heavy rain due to the different design. We did have 2 wet beds on this trip.

Thank you for your feedback. All of our new build boats offer additional features and we do clearly show these extras in our brochure and online so that customers can make an informed decision when choosing their boat. The driving rain we have experienced over the last week will have tested any sky vent and we are sorry to hear that this resulted in wet beds. We look forward to welcoming you back again soon!

Your recent holiday on Eagle - Bonellis Eagle from Gayton

We had problems with the battery, but it was soon replaced once we phoned the fault. There was an awful smell in the front cabin at night

Thank you for your feedback. It is disappointing to hear that you had an issue with the battery but we are pleased that the marina were able to resolve the problem quickly without too much interruption to your holiday. Your comment about the toilet has been sent to the marina so that they can investigate. We are pleased that you enjoyed your holiday and we hope to see you again soon.

Your recent holiday on Warbler - Yellow Warbler from Hilperton

A very enjoyable short break

Your recent holiday on Owl - Snowy Owl from Hilperton

A good holiday. Despite the length, the boat was easy to control. The boat could have been more comfortable inside though. Compared to other boats the seating had no cushion backs, and the kitchen position meant it was difficult to pass if someone was cooking. It also lacked carpeting that other boats had. Having said all that everyone enjoyed the canal experience. I would choose ABC boat hire again but choose a different boat. We were shown other layouts when we got back. I would also like to thank the engineer and staff on being so helpful when we had engine difficulties.

Thank you for your feedback. The Owl Class has been designed for larger parties with two dinettes, offering a more flexible layout. If you are looking for more comfort on a large boat then the Warbler Class would perhaps be a better option for you and your crew. We are pleased you enjoyed your experience and we look forward to helping you plan your next holiday!

Your recent holiday on Derwent - Torbern from Whitchurch Marina

Great overall experience. The canal was challenging but the boat wasn't. Well equipped and very comfortable. Would certainly use your company again for a canal boat holiday
