 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 within 7 days of your holiday commencement date.
Where can we go?
From our marinas at
Barnoldswick and
Catforth there are some lovely routes
The only restriction is
that our boats cannot be taken on tidal waterways without prior written
agreement.
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, Rosa-May, Isabel, Green Man, Eleanor Rose and Florence have 240v and household electrical plugs
can be used (please don't bring anything over 500 watts).
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.
What
time can I collect my boat?
Your boat will be
ready from 2pm and should be returned by 9am on your day of departure.
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?
Isabel, Green Man,
Eleanor Rose,
Rosa-May and Florence 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 covers, and refrain from
allowing your pets on the seats or beds.
Grace and Strumble
are pet free boats.

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.

booking?

our online booking service

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
