So don't take our word for it, see what thousands of our customers are saying about us!
Their important safety and operating instructions were thorough and helpful which made our day out a more enjoyable experience. The boat was well prepared, clean and very “ship shape”. And their friendly advice was very welcome. Seeing the peaceful and tranquil landscape, and wildlife (we saw herons, kingfishers and much more) from the canal boat gave a new perspective on everything. A memorable day out!

It was a well organised and thoroughly enjoyable day out. The boat was rady for us on our arrival. The safety briefing was good. We set off with ABC staff on board until they were confident we could handle the boat and then they left us to it. We were fortunate that the weather was dry, calm and partly sunny. Happy to recommend and to do it again

Thank you so much for your lovely review! We're delighted to hear your annual reunion was a success and that the booking process and communication were smooth—even with the change of location due to water levels.

Very good booking service and communication from ABC, which included a change of location from Gayton to Kings Orchard due to water levels. Excellent support during handover and hand back of the boat from Lee at Kings Orchard Marina.

bra mottagning med ganska genomgående information om båten. Trevlig personal. Det negativa är att vi kom inte iväg på vår båttur förrens klockan närmade sig 17.00 väldigt lite båtåka första dagen. Lördagen, vår andra daq, okey med båtfärd. Söndagen fick vi ägna åt att ta oss tillbaka till marinan. Måndag: avlämning av båt strax efter åtta på morgonen. Jag bokade båt för 3 dagar. Vi bodde visserligen 3 nätter på båten men jag har svårt att få det till mer än 2 dagars tur. Därför missade vi fårt stora mål - att få uppleva akvedukterna.

Det blir inte 5 stjärnor eftersom jag tycker vi fick inte tid att åka som vi tänkt pga sen start dag 1.

Condition of Union canal was poor. Frequent delays to clear weed from prop upset our plans. Didn’t reach either Edinburgh or Glasgow. Having to book locks and bridges meant inflexible trip planning.

Water gauge and sewage gauges didn’t work, shower leaked under bulkhead into rear cabin. Lack of concern when faults reported upon our return. These faults cost us a lot of time upsetting our plans.
