Your recent holiday on Derwent - Hermod from Gailey Wharf

Excellent weekend break, the staff were very helpful especially Ian he went above and beyond to help us all on the induction. First time on a canal boat and we took the Norbury route which can be done in a weekend we all enjoyed it so much we will be booking again. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to chill and have a peaceful time and have fun along the way. Thank you to all at ABC Gailey it was a blast.

Your recent holiday on Daylark from Gayton Marina

Nice boat, thorough and courteous service. My only slight criticism is that I wasn't aware that the boat wasn't insured to go through locks. It didn't matter on the as was very windy, but could have limited plans (and may have been in the small print). Otherwise, first class.

Thank you for your feedback on your day hire from Gayton Marina. There has been a recent change in regulations and our day boat is now insured to cruise through locks, however we do discourage customers cruising south from Gayton from navigating the locks at Stoke Bruerne. Our day hire boat needs to be returned to the Marina by 4:30pm and operating the locks will result in customers being late back, especially if they are planning to stop for lunch or at busy times. We must also consider the water wastage involved in using the lock, before turning around and going back through again. We’re pleased you enjoyed your day out and we hope to see you again soon!

Your recent holiday on Swan - Mute Swan from Hilperton

excellent service! Was a bit worried when we arrived that the boatyard were unsure whether we could leave with the boat because of the strong winds which would have really scupperred our weekend. It would have been nice to have had some warning if that was to be the case. Otherwise it was all great!

Your recent holiday on Away Day from Alvechurch Marina

It was very simple to book and when we arrived it was all very straightforward. The training video was helpful. It was easy to use the boat - although a bit cold on board!

Your recent holiday on Eagle - Imperial Eagle from Alvechurch

Couldn't fault ABC enough, nothing was too much trouble and the time Paul spent with us teaching us what to do was very informative and pitched just right.

Your recent holiday on Away Day from Alvechurch Marina

1. Booking staff were excellent esp with the changes that I had with dates etc. 2 marina staff from front counter to handover wee efficient and stress free 3. Safety was No . 1 priority 4. The boat was a gem, it had everything , we prepared for our picnic but it was all there on board incl. cutlery and sink. The boat handled beautifully. Stopped at two pubs northwards. 5. Only regret was that we only had a boat for one day. Thanks for giving us the most memorable stress free day in the UK.
