Boat Details: Pippin offers a high level of comfort. The Cruiser Stern gives a large area for the rear deck. Equipped to a high standard, this boat has a fully fitted galley with modern gas oven (with grill), 4-ring hob, fridge and small freezer. Bed layout offers two single beds in the rear cabin and a permanent double bed in the centre cabin. Bathroom has shower, wash basin and fresh water flush toilet. Dining table plus separate breakfast bar.

As well as a gas-fired, full central heating system, this boat also benefits from a traditional wood or coal burning stove - a quaint feature harking back to past times. The lounge and bedrooms are carpeted and there is a radio/CD player, colour TV/DVD. 12V socket for charging mobiles and an invertor which supplies limited 240V throughout the boat.

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 non-refundable damage waiver of £50 paid with your balance of hire OR a refundable damage deposit of £500 paid on arrival is payable with every hire. The damage deposit is refunded to you when you return the boat on time, in a reasonably clean condition, without damage to the boat or any third-party claims against you. The damage waiver waives any excess you would need to pay were you to accidentally damage this or another boat, but does not cover you for negligence or malicious damage.

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. The 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.
