Is it safe on a
narrow boat holiday?
We provide a full briefing and a detailed manual is supplied in every boat.
Buoyancy jackets are free of charge and we suggest you wear non-slip shoes.
There is always a potential risk near water but if you act responsibly your
narrow boat holiday should be safe.
What experience is needed?
No previous experience is necessary for a narrow boat holiday but novices will be given extra help and
advice to ensure they are competent in the handling of the narrow boat.
When can we arrive
for our narrow boat holiday and when must we drop the narrow boat off?
Boats are available from 3:00pm on the start day until 9:30am on a
Friday/Monday or 9:00am on a Saturday.
Where can we go
on our narrow boat holiday and how far?
Our narrow boats are licensed for the River Severn and the inland waterways. If you
cruise on the River Avon an additional licence must be purchased en route.
With speeds of 4 mph you can cover approximately 100 miles in a week.
Are locks
difficult to operate on narrow boat holidays?
Locks are really quite easy and advice will be given before you depart. All
locks on the River Severn are manned and you will have time to see and
understand the concept of how they work before needing to operate a lock
entirely by yourself.

What do we need to
bring?
You can see details of what we provide on board
here. Additionally we
suggest you bring towels, your own CD’s & DVD’s, a mobile phone charger to
plug into a car cigarette lighter type socket, Wellington boots,
waterproofs, a large umbrella, a torch and gloves for handling ropes.
Can I bring my pet?
A narrowboat holiday cruise is a wonderful holiday if you own a pet with many walks
along the towpaths.
We allow well behaved pets on our boats for a small charge.
Is there car parking
at the Marina?
Ample free car parking is available within the Marina.
