ABOUT THE SPONSORSHIP SCHEME

You can own a brand new, 5 star luxury narrowboat choosing from one of four designs, we hire the boat as part of our fleet and you get a 38% return of the income from the boat. It’s that easy. You will be offered the boat at a trade price and be able to contribute your ideas to colour schemes and interior design.



The icing on the cake is that you are able to book 2 weeks holiday in advance during the hire season for your own use (including Easter holidays and October half term) and 4 weeks holidays during the off peak season (including Xmas and February half term), giving a total of 6 weeks use a year.

You will own the boat and the inventory so at the end of the four year contract there is no disruption to you as the owner.

We can offer you 2 boat sizes which come as a traditional layout or a reverse layout for:

50 foot (similar to H3O 2/4 berth) £69,350 (inc VAT)
58 foot (similar to Aqua Vie 4/6 berth) £79,192 (inc VAT)
We pay for the Running Costs

As part of the sponsorship agreement we ask for your boat to be part of the fleet for 4 years, Aqua Narrowboats will market and administer the bookings, and turn the boat around for each holiday. We will pay for 80% of your British waterways licence and mooring fees. We also pay for your boat to be insured for hire purposes.

We pay for the Maintenance

Aqua Narrowboats will keep your boats maintained to a high standard as we like to ensure our customers receive the best boats and the best service. This will include labour towards:

Servicing and engine repairs.
Attending call outs to customers.
Blacking and maintaining.
Your Contribution

You will contribute 20% towards the costs of the BW license and mooring fees which will be deducted as part of your returns. You will be given an annual allowance of £400 towards replacement items for your boat, if this allowance is exceeded the owner will contribute the outstanding amount, however the labour costs will be provided by us free of charge.

Your Financial Return

As an owner of a sponsored boat, you will receive 38% of the hire revenue for years 1 and 2 and 32% for years 3 and 4 (due to higher maintenance costs). Payments are made direct to you monthly in arrears. The return will have the VAT and damage waiver fee deducted and therefore not included as part of the 38% or 32%, unless you have entered the scheme as part of a VAT registered business, in which case the VAT element would be passed onto the sponsor’s income to be reclaimed. Please remember that our hire prices increase every year.

Our Partnership with You

All of our boats are built under a standard British Marine Federation contract, with staged payments throughout. You are welcome to visit the boat build at any stage and you will be kept up to date with photos on our boat build blog site, so you will really feel part of the team.

Once your boat is in the fleet you will receive payments in arrears for each month the boats are hired, so this will be April to October. We will keep you informed of all replacements items and any maintenance work carried out. As well as your 2 weeks advanced booking in the season we will contact you if any last minute holidays become available.

We will send you an e-newsletter on a regular basis letting you know what is happening in the canal world and how Aqua Narrowboats is doing.

Our aim is for you to feel part of our team, so we will support, talk and listen as much as possible.
