a colour TV, DVD, CD player and radio.
Strumble
has a solid fuel stove, duvets, pillows, towels and a colour TV,

Advice on where to moor, eat,
shop, places to visit and maps of the canals are provided in the
onboard information.
Is boat handling
training provided?
 Absolutely.
Our Boat Handover Procedure is Quality Assured by the British Marine
Federation (click the tick for details)
You will be shown
your
boat, we will explain how it works and tell
you about the daily checks to be made.
You
then set off, accompanied by our instructor.
At
your first lock, we show you what to do, and then help you through two
more.
We ask you to sign a
Handover Certificate to confirm that you're happy with our briefing
Additionally, we provide onboard reference aids and a copy of the
Boaters' Handbook. The Boaters' Handbook is useful pre-holiday
reading.
We are contactable 24
hours a day, 7 days a week in the unlikely event of an emergency.
Do you supply buoyancy aids?
We do. Sizing will be
finalised at the time of your holiday.
Where can we go?
There are occasionally some lock
restrictions.
The Bingley locks and those west of
Bingley close at 4pm.
We have compiled a selection of
Suggested Routes.
Can I bring electronic gadgets?
There is a 12v cigarette
lighter style socket on board suitable for charging mobile phones,
cameras and camcorders on Strumble.
Grace, No Turning
Back, Rosa-May and Genevieve have a 240v system and household electrical plugs
can be used (please don't bring anything over 500watts).
Can I cruise at night?
No. It is not
safe and would render the insurance invalid should you have an
accident. Please moor up by dusk.
Are there speed limits?
The guidance for canals is 3
miles per hour (walking speed) but you should slow down when passing
moored boats.
Can we bring
pets?
Genevieve and
Rosa-May are pet
friendly boats and there is no extra charge for up to 2 furry friends.
All we ask is that you bring your own bedding and refrain from
allowing your pets on the seats or beds.
Grace, Strumble and
No Turning Back
are pet free boats.
What if I need to cancel my holiday?
Our terms and conditions
detail our cancellation policy. To give you peace
of mind we do operate a cancellation cover scheme in association
with PJ Hayman insurance.
How do I make a
booking?
You can use either
our online booking service
or give us a call on 0800 3213541 and we
will take your booking over the telephone. If you book over the phone
we will ask you to print and mail/fax us a copy of our
Booking Form
to comply with our insurance requirements.
We recommend downloading the
Boater's Handbook for further
reference. A copy is also provided on board.
Additionally, an excellent resource launched this
year is Considerate Boater.
