General Description: Very suitable for a larger group or family. This is a 68 foot, semi-traditional stern narrowboat, blending traditional craftsmanship with a modern approach to cruising. Bed layout has one fixed double, one dinette double & six singles in 5 cabins. Each sleeping quarter (up to four cabins including the open-plan saloon) can be divided by a separating door, providing plenty of privacy. For comfort and convenience, each boat includes a second toilet in addition to the main bathroom with shower, toilet and washbasin.

The fully equipped galley is light and bright and combines with the dinette to make a great relaxation area for the whole crew. All cabins are carpeted and the boat has central heating. A Colour TV/DVD and radio/CD are also provided.

Start time is between 1.30pm and 3.30pm on the first day of hire (we endeavour to have boats ready for 1.30pm subject to unavoidable delays - if delayed there are tearooms on site). Boats need to be returned by 9.30am on the last day and vacated by 10.00am.

Price Includes: VAT, full boat inventory, all fuel (gas and diesel), bed linen, 1 hand towel and 1 bath towel per person, car parking, boating tuition on arrival. Buoyancy aids are available on request. Cleaning materials provided. (Fuel inclusive – This boat is handed over with a full diesel tank and full gas bottles at no cost to the hirer. This will normally suffice for one week's cruising. Please see Booking & Hire Conditions below).

Damage Deposit / Damage waiver: A security Damage Waiver Premium of £50 is payable on every hire. This is a single non-refundable payment, which covers you for any accidental damage or loss to the boat or its equipment whilst on hire to you (except for negligent or malicious damage). Alternatively, you may pay a Damage Deposit of £500 which is refunded to you at the end of your holiday, after the craft has been checked and provided that you return the boat and its equipment on time, undamaged, clean and without any third party claims you.

N.B. For Single-Sex Group Bookings a refundable damage deposit of £1000 is payable on arrival instead of the normal damage waiver / damage deposit. This is done by taking a card swipe authorisation (no payment is actually taken unless the boat comes back late, dirty or damaged).

Pets: Pets are welcome. First pet is included within the basic boat hire price. Subsequent pets welcome for an additional charge of £25 per pet.

Deposit Payment: A booking deposit of 20% of the total cost is payable initially, with the balance of hire due 6 weeks before your arrival date. There is a 2% surcharge if you wish to pay by credit card, but no surcharge for payment with a debit card.

Cancellation Cover: Cancellation protection cover is not included, but can be offered by the boat company if required.
