I don't have any experience, will i still hire a boat?
Boat hire companies are used to holiday-makers who have never been on a boat before, you won't be thought to take full control of your boat until you're very happy with how everything works. You will be shown how to steer your own personal boat, daily boat checks, operating locks, and protection instructions.
How physical is a holiday on a boat?
An individual be an Olympic athlete for a holiday afloat, but very few physical activity is involved - specifically when going through locks along with mooring your boat. It is recommend that you have at least only two reasonably fit people in your holiday party.
What am i not likely to see during my holiday afloat?
You can choose a marining holiday depending on what type of surroundings you want to see. Some waters take in the tranquillity of the countryside, whilst other brooks and canals allow you to cruise through towns and urban centers, and witness a wealth of architectural and industrial history. Either waterway you choose to navigate, you'll get a different view of the spot you are going.
Can I get off the boat?
There will be plenty of opportunity's for you to get off your boat to explore - wildlife, villages, brs - whenever you see something which takes your fancy, you can moor upwards, and have a look round. If you're planning a boating holiday in England, many of the boat-yards allow you to hire a bicycle to take along, an excellent way of exploring the towns and villages you cruise trip through.
What about the fuel?
Some boating holidays would include the price of fuel in the hire charge, others will charge a smaller fee for fuel. Hire boats don't go very quickly (about 4-6 mph), so won't use very much gasoline. When you book your boat, you will be made aware of any extra charges payable.
