Then add any optional extras you want, e.g. extra persons or credit card charge. Balance to be paid six weeks before your holiday.

Booking notes  
When you have chosen your boat you can check its availability immediately online. If you are able to be flexible about boats and weeks please email us and we will suggest some options.
Add £45 damage waiver to the hire fee shown. This is non-returnable.
Hire fees are per boat and include 17.5% VAT.
A ten or eleven night holiday starting on Friday or Monday costs the first week price plus 50% of the second week.

Second week discounts
15% off a second (or third) week unless that week starts 4 July - 25 August (highlighted in table) when the discount is 10%.

2009 saver
Book and pay your booking deposit for 2009 before 31 August 2008 and we'll give you the 2008 price for the equivalent period (taking account of bank holidays). Not available with any other offer.
Fuel duty: a substantial increase is to be levied from 1 November 2008. We regret that we will have to impose a surcharge. More details later.

Compulsory Extra
Damage waiver: £45 per booking.

Optional Extras
Cancellation Protection Scheme
Unless you indicate on your booking form that you undertake to pay the balance even if you cancel (for example, because you already have suitable cancellation insurance), we will add the charge shown in the table (right) to join our CPS.
For details of benefits, see Cancellation Protection Scheme.
Extra persons

Where a boat is shown as, for instance, 4+2 berth, the hire fee is for the lower number, 4, and fifth or sixth persons are charged £25 per week (but children under 16 go free).
Extra pets
Up to two pets are free. Any extras (subject to our agreement) are charged at £30 per week.
Credit Card charge
For payments made by credit cards, we will make a 1% charge, to recover part of our processing costs. There is no charge for payment by debit card.
