General Description: A 56 ft narrowboat blending traditional craftsmanship with a modern approach to cruising. Easy to control and ideal for both the novice boater and experienced crew. All boats have a cruiser style stern allowing the helmsman and crew space to stand on the rear deck. Fore and aft cockpits are roomy, have good seating areas and have raised helmsman's seats. All boats have central heating, colour TV/DVD and radio/CD.

Each sleeping quarter (up to three cabins including the saloon) can be divided by a separating door, providing plenty of privacy. There is a shower compartment opposite the toilet cubicle and this can used as a larger bathroom area with the doors to each compartment opening across the central aisle.

Prices include: - Tuition on arrival, gas for cooking and heating, VAT, car parking and bed linen. Towels are provided for all customers. You will be provided with one bath towel per person. A hand towel will be provided in each wash room. Diesel is not included - please see fuel deposit.

Fuel Deposit: This boat starts with a full tank of fuel - plenty to cover a steady two week cruise. You pay a fuel deposit when you book your holiday – this is £90 per week or £50 per short break. When you bring the boat back to us, the balance of the deposit is refundable after deducting the fuel used. If you have used fuel in excess of the deposit, you will be asked to pay the difference.

Pets: One pet may also go with you free of charge. A second pet (maximum of 2 pets) is welcome for an additional charge of £25.00 per short break, or £35 per week.

Compulsory Damage Waiver: All 2015 bookings are subject to a non-refundable compulsory damage waiver of £50.00. This damage waiver is included in the basic hire cost for 2016 holidays. Please refer to Operators Terms and Conditions for limitations.

Cancellation Protection Scheme: Cancellation protection is available at very competitive rates of £25.00 for a short break or £40.00 per week to cover your whole party. If you choose not to use this scheme, you will need to have alternative cancellation protection cover in place and proof of such cover may be requested. For all 2016 holidays, cancellation protection is included as standard.

Start/Finish times: Your holiday starts between 2pm - 4pm on the start day and finishes by 9.00am on the last day of hire.
