Boat Building & Aqua Furnishings

Following government guidance our premises for both boat building and upholstery will be open and operating during Lockdown. However we are not open for retail visitors but are here to help and provide guidance via telephone or email.
Although please be aware we may take a little longer to get back to you as we have office staff working from home.

Hire Fleet

We are continuing to take bookings as normal for our 2021 hire boat season – at the moment these are still only being taken online. Presently we are still not taking short break bookings, but will honour those already booked with us.

Please Note: Unfortunately due to social distancing measures we are still unable to accept bookings from novices for the 2021 season. All customers will be assessed and must have had previous experience of handling a narrowboat and the working of locks – by booking you are agreeing to these conditions. Please be aware that customers will still need to bring their own pillows, duvets and towels (mattress protectors and sheets will still be provided). The main hirer will need to wear a facemask whilst signing the necessary handover forms.

We will of course review all our decisions regarding novices, bedding and short break bookings at the start of the 2021 hire boat season, and again during the season as and when necessary. For the continued protection of our customers, and in addition to our normal strict cleaning regimes, we shall carry on applying a Microbe Shield at intervals on all hire boats during the course of 2021 season.

Kindest regards

Justin, Jane & all the Aqua Narrowboats Team.
