Update 24th June 2020

Hire Fleet

Following the recent government announcement we’re pleased to inform you that our hire fleet will commence operating from Saturday 11^th July.

Our booking system will reopen on Tuesday 30^th June at 12 noon – we will only be accepting online bookings for the time being. To reassure our customers we only require the balance payment two weeks prior to your holiday – please see our updated booking terms and conditions regarding cancellation.

We’ve increased our already strict cleaning regimes and added additional control measures to help keep our customers and team safe. Staff will be present on site to sign the necessary paperwork and answer any questions you may have. You’ll be sent a link prior to arrival to watch our virtual handover – a DVD copy is also on board the boat for reference during your holiday.   

Please Note: Unfortunately due to social distancing measures we will no longer be able to accept bookings from novices for the current 2020 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 need to bring their own pillows, duvets and towels – however we will provide sheets for the mattresses. The main hirer will need to wear a facemask whilst signing the necessary handover forms.

We look forward to welcoming you on board.

Justin, Jane & all the Aqua Narrowboats Team.
