We offer a huge choice
of routes, and lengths of holiday, so you can really
explore the northern waterways.
All boats have definite
start and finish days.
Each boat can only do
certain routes.
In particular, one-way
trips can only be done on the boats allocated to each
trip, and other boats cannot do one-way trips.
All this is fully
explained on the
Route and
Boat
pages. |
We suggest you choose
your length of holiday and
Route first, then select
your boat from the ones that serve that route. |
We offer
great value. For example, you could holiday in June on a
boat with a microwave for under £25 a head a night.

Fuel still
included
2009 sees a big increase in fuel duty (tax) for boats.
The cost of the fuel itself is of course very
unpredictable. Many of our competitors have decided to
charge extra for fuel - for propulsion and, often, for
heating.
We've considered all the angles, and believe that most
of you won't want to pay a big fuel deposit, then spend
the holiday worrying whether it will be enough for what
you use. Still less will you want to pay for heating. And we doubt if you want to hang around after
the holiday waiting for the boatyard to refill the boat,
then settle up. Enough! Your boating holiday is supposed
to be relaxing.
So we've decided to stay fuel inclusive. This
way you know where you are. |
