We ask that you arrive 20 minutes early for your booking. This is to finalise payment, sign the waiver for the responsible person, fit out for buoyancy aids and familiarise with the boat before hire.
Due to insurance stipulations, at least one responsible person will be required to take control of the vessel. This should also be the person who pays the deposit.This person shall sign to take control of the vessel for the hire period. You must be at least 25 years old for powered craft and at least 18 years old for the rowing dinghies.
Buoyancy aids will be issued to all passengers aboard the vessel. Buoyancy aids are mandatory for all passengers under 16 years old.
A damage deposit of £200 will be held on your debit card or in cash and will be returned on the same day as the booking provided no damage or loss has occured.
We really don't want to do it and understand some minor scuffs may happen. There are charges for significant damages or losses including:
Buoyancy aid £30
Lifebuoy £30
Boat hook £15
Damaged upholstery (dependent on extent)
Bimini cover £250 (stay away from trees)
Fenders £15 each
Other damage such as major scratches or damage to the engines or boat hull will be notified
You will be on the boat for the start of your booking and are expected to return the vessel to us, back on its berth, before the end of the booking. we can give 10 minutes grace period but after that you will be charged £20 for every 20 minutes late you are. Sorry again but we would like to be clear and also fair to the next customer.
If you hire for a full day, you will be issued with an Environment Agency key and winch handle to enable you to transit locks. We will give you as much guidance as we can, but you really need to watch the video https://canalrivertrust.org.uk/enjoy-the-waterways/boating/go-boating/a-guide-to-boating/boaters-handbook/boating-through-locks. We will be uploading some specific videos of our locks soon.
For half a day, you can transit Houghton lock only, on request.
We would like everyone to have fun and enjoy the day out. That said, we do also respect our neighbour's and the river and reserve the right to refuse hire to anyone we suspect will be causing a nuisance or drinking too much alcohol. You will be refunded your deposit but you will not be allowed to take the boat out. We will accept parties but you must speak to us first and we may require a larger deposit. Please don't try it.
