CANAL BOAT FAQS
CAN I HIRE A BOAT JUST FOR THE DAY?
+
Yes - we have day hire boats at several of our locations - For more information,
head to our day boat hire website: www.abcdayboathire.com
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO RENT A CANAL BOAT?
+
The price of renting a canal boat varies depending on the location and length of
your holiday, as well as the canal boat you choose. We provide a range of
special offers, including a 2-week discount, 2nd holiday discount, multi-boat
discount, loyalty discount and early bird discount. We also allow you to spread
the cost of your holiday with our easy payment plan. Contact a member of our
friendly team to find out more about the costs of our canal boat holidays.
WHERE IS THE BEST PLACE FOR A CANAL BOAT HOLIDAY?
+
It all depends on the type of canal boat holiday you’re looking for! We have
locations across England, Scotland and Wales such as Anderton Marina, Falkirk
Canal and Goytre Wharf. Not sure where to spend your next canal boat holiday?
Check our locations, routes and boats for inspiration. Alternatively, contact a
member of our knowledgeable team who will offer invaluable canal boat holiday
advice.
CAN I STILL BOOK IF I HAVEN'T 'DRIVEN' A BOAT BEFORE?
+
No previous experience is necessary, as our boats are extremely easy to handle
and full tuition is given at the start of every holiday. Comprehensive cruising
information is in a manual on the boat and details are sent out with the holiday
documents to introduce you to the theory of locks and the 'rules of the road'.
We provide our own 24hr emergency helpline.
DO YOU NEED A LICENSE TO DRIVE A BOAT?
+
You do not need a driving licence for a canal boat or narrowboat and the boat
itself is licenced by us for CRT waterways. There are a few waterways outside
their jurisdiction for which you will need to purchase an additional licence as
you enter them, such as the Scottish Canals, Rivers Avon, Thames and Wey. Our
start bases can provide details when you arrive to pick up your boat.
Aldermaston boats have a Thames license.
The maximum number of people allowed on board is restricted to the number of
berths.
CAN WE BRING PETS ABOARD?
+
This really is a holiday the whole family can enjoy together. We do not charge
for any of your pets - however there is normally a maximum of 2 allowed. We
obviously request that the boat is returned in a clean and tidy condition and
reserve the right to refuse pets or charge for any additional cleaning or
repairs required as a result of pets being on board during your holiday.

We’ve used ABC Boat Hire several times over the years. Always very nice and
helpful staff while arranging the hire, they do a good job of making sure you
understand how to operate the boat, and are very responsive if an issue arrives.
Their boats are in good shape and it’s clear they make an effort to keep them
that way.
