Asti is our little gem of a boat. She’s only 32 foot long, but full of character. Asti can be hired for a half day or a day for up to 10 people (at a pinch she will take 12). You can cruise plain canals or try a set of locks. There is a cooker, fridge, sink, toilet, solid fuel stove and barbecue. The large open front deck gives you plenty of space to sit and watch the world go by, whilst the canvas cover can keep the weather out. This boat offers a good introduction to canals, being easy to manouevre. Asti also has a fold out double bed so one or two people can hire it for a few days or a week (or longer)

Merlot is our most interesting boat. This is an economical boat for up to 4 people (2 doubles) It is a tug style narrowboat with a back cabin similar to a working boat, but with one or two changes to make it more practical. It has a toilet and shower compartment which separates the rear cabin from the front lounge/ bedroom. The quiet slow revving Lister engine gives the boat a very gentle relaxing feel whilst the very long tug front makes this an attractive boat with plenty of outside space. This boat is available for up to 12 for day hire or up to 4 for short break, weekend or weekly hire.
