We hired Nessie for the day and was a bit disappointed with the weather it rained heavy first thing. My son was being shown the ropes by Lorna, she was an excellent teacher and made you feel confident. There was 7 of us, three adults and 4 children, ranging from 2 to 10. The kids loved the experience, not getting bored at all, the 2 year old was a bit of a handful, so she may stay home next time. The sun came out at about 10.30 and it was a really hot day. The captain was a bit nervous at first but he soon got the hang of it, lovely route, beautiful houses and pubs on the way. Nessie was a nice size to handle. Now we know what to expect we will definitely book again. Lovely experience. Thank you Lorna 👏🏼

We hired one of the day boats for a day out (a group if six "grumpy old men" for a relaxed lazy day our. What a great day. Slowly going along the canal for a few hours. Seeing the thing's we drive past from a totally different angle and not rushing. Great to not have any locks to deal with resulted a totally relaxed day out. Thanks for the training and great delivery.
