Aqua Narrowboat Hire operates two narrowboats brand new in spring
2007 & spring 2008. Our luxurious boats are constructed on Colecraft hulls and are maintained to the highest of standards
and fitted out in a bright, modern style. The craft are powered
by reliable Beta Marine engines with hospital silencers for
quieter cruising. The boats are inspected annually by
VisitBritain who provide the internationally recognised star
system for accommodation providers in the UK. H3O was awarded
five stars in 2007 and our new boat will be built to the same
five star specifications. Follow the construction of our boats
on our blog

Included in the price of our canal boat holiday hire will be a
welcome pack containing of tea, coffee, sugar and milk, washing up
liquid, tissue roll and cleaning cloths. Bed linen, bath towels and
tea towels are also included in your hire fee. Two free car parking
spaces are also provided at our base for the length of your hire
period. The only additional cost to your hire fee is the compulsory,
non returnable damage waiver fee of £30.00 which covers the hirer
against any accidental damage to the boat (see our canal boat
holiday Terms &
Conditions for further details). |

Tuition
We want to make sure your holiday is an enjoyable one and therefore we
provide a comprehensive handover which includes a full walkthrough of
the boats features and necessary safety precautions. This is followed by
practical tuition on the canal to demonstrate boat handling and the
operation of locks. The handling of a narrowboat is not difficult to
master but we understand that novices will learn in different ways.
Therefore we are happy to adapt the tuition to focus on skills that may
be difficult to pick up or understand and we will stop with you until
enough confidence has been gained to continue on your own and have a
wonderful canal holiday!
