Hello all!
Hope you have had a great summer - now on the slippery slope towards winter. Do love all of our seasons obviously, but does start us thinking about plans for next year.
We will have 3 cruisers on the fleet, Bernadette, Rubette and Claudette - plus our day boats, canoes and kayaks to keep us busy!
Looking forward, we thought we would offer a little saving for any prospective boaters for next season!
If you are considering hiring a cruiser from us, any bookings made before the end of the year will receive a 10% discount as a thank you. 👍
Look forward to all the calls and emails 😁

Our day boats are proving very popular! We do also have kayaks, canoes and paddle boards if you fancy a bit of messing about on the river. Lovely stretch of water here - quite quiet and no lock, if you go up river, for about an hour - so perfect for a 2 hour trip on a day boat. Very reasonably priced too!

Well, spring has definitely sprung on time this year! The ferry is doing well, and we hope to have our day boats ready for you in the next week or so.
There will be 3 available - Windy, Breeze and Mistral. All 16ft wooden clinker boats. Windy and Mistral have inboard engines and tillers, whilst Breeze has an outboard and a wheel.
Will give you an exact date soon.
As mentioned previously, we will also be hiring out canoes, kayaks and paddle boards.
Looking forward to a busy spring / summer!

We will be hiring out day boats, canoes and paddle boards as of next spring (or as soon as the river lets us!) Cruisers will still be available for holiday hire - just branching out a bit 👍😊
Look forward to seeing some of you down at the waterfront!

Morning all.
Thought I'd let you know that we do also have a couple of day boats that we hire out, by the hour or 1/2 day, day.
They carry 4 adults easily.
For any of you that live locally, give us a call? 👍😁

Well, we have been giving Bernadette II a make-over! The new version is ready for hiring 👍

Good to see so many new 'views' - so hello to you all!

The weather is a bit better, but the flow of the river is still fast, and very dubious whether it will slow down enough for the boating season to start at Easter.
On the plus side, we have decided to offer our friends on here, and new comers, a special offer! If booked by, say, the end of April - we will offer you, a 15% discount!!! Just quote SO24 and we'll get you booked in 😁👍

Hope to see you soon......!
