Relax on board. STATIC

DrewRating, 5 stars65 months ago
Overall, everything about the accommodation was a pleasant surprise. Cleanliness, communication, and charm were all as good as it gets, and Joyce was a delightful host. Staying in a boat along with the time spent exploring the canal on foot really made the trip. Thanks!

The Cru Houseboats

MartaRating, 5 stars2 months ago
We stayed at Peter’s boat for two nights and really enjoyed the experience. There were 6 of us and the boat was big enough to fit all of us (5 adults, one child). It’s been fun to watch the young swans learning to swim. I recommend the boat trip to the nearby pub that can be arranged. Pete has been super helpful and the instructions were very clear. I would recommend this experience to anyone curious who is looking for alternative accommodations

Motor Yacht Calypso

WendyRating, 5 stars13 months ago
We had a lovely weekend on Calypso to celebrate a birthday and attend the Boat Show. Poole harbour is beautiful and there is all you need ( Tesco, restaurants etc) within a few mins walk of the boat. The boat is large and we were very warm and comfortable. Certainly a different experience for us.

Boutique Central London Narrowboat

AnnaRating, 5 stars1 month ago
I had no idea that there were canals with boats in London but this really made our trip magical. The bed in the back was like a cocoon and we slept so well! Kitchen was well stocked with coffee, French press, moka pot, as well as a delightful spread of bread and butters, jam and eggs. Geese and ducks greeted us when we opened the windows in the morning and the canal was very peaceful. There is a park that almost acts like a front yard and easy access to the road for taxis, and the boat is also equidistant to two underground stations. Transportation was easy and it was shockingly quiet for such a large city. The boat herself was a novelty and we loved every minute. Can’t wait to stay on Velvet Morning again and looking forward to being hosted by Sam, as well. I’d consider booking their second boat if this one is booked just because they were so responsive and kind. Thanks Sarah and Sam! :)

Boat Accommodation, Torquay Marina, Devon

EmilieRating, 5 stars3 months ago
Paul’s boat was stunning!! It was beautifully furnished, sparkly clean and very comfortable. Despite being a small interior space it had absolutely everything we could ask for - air fryer, hob, fridge, full bathroom. Lovely little touches like complimentary toiletries and towels gave it an extra luxury. The glamorous marina location was very cool, easy to access through private gates. There are plenty of restaurants and bars to enjoy within an easy walk of the boat. We throughly enjoyed our stay - we just wish we could’ve stayed longer :)

Sea Wolf 4 Berth 2 Cabin Motor Yacht in Lymington

NicolaRating, 5 stars2 months ago
It was in a great location looking out to sea & near the delightful town of Lymington. Free safe parking, with good facilities nearby -- luxury showers, loos & restaurant. Basic cooking facilities, toilets and shower onboard. The boat was clean & well stocked with essentials. Hosts were friendly & amenable. It was compact. Some of the internal steps are steep & some low ceilings . All in all a great place to stay, very restful. Nearby is also a nature reserve salt marsh so lots of birds & fish around, & it's lovely to see the tides

boat hire & accommodation

DonnaRating, 5 stars2 months ago
We stayed here over the weekend of 17 August. The communication with the host was excellent. We arranged a time to meet and Steve met us at the marina, showed us how to access the marina, shower and toilet facilities and the boat. The marina is such a lovely setting. There were five of us and two small dogs. There was plenty of room for us all. We were very placed for the beach, restaurants and bars. It’s also very close to the theatre. We mostly used the shower and toilets at the marina, but there is a shower and toilet onboard. There was clean bedding, kettle, single hob stove, cutlery, pans and utensils. We all had a great time and would definitely stay again

Yacht with two double cabins

SamRating, 5 stars3 months ago
The host was super responsive and provided a lot of local knowledge. The boat was very close to town and had good access to restroom/shower facilities. The space was comfortable for my family of 4 (8 year old and 12 year old boys). It was a fun experience.

Stunning boat ‘Sea Lion’ Charlestown, Cornwall

ElsaRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Due to a broken lock in the harbour where Tor’s boat was moored we were unable to stay on the boat but Tor booked us straight into a hotel on the quayside which was done with lots of support from Pier House hotel. The last minute changes were due to the lock in the harbour and the extreme weather that was forecast. The hotel staff were so supportive of the last minute booking and couldn’t have been more kind and professional. Tor was great, offering to help in any way. She is an excellent host and we wouldn’t hesitate to try to book to stay on the boat again. 5stars without a doubt. Amazing!!

Stayed here as a surprise for my friends 50th birthday - it certainly had the wow factor and beat staying in a hotel. Miros was very friendly and flexible and the Marina was lovely and well serviced if you wanted to venture out - a must do on everyones list.

Rhapsody In Blue ~ Home on the Water

KestonRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
We needed a place to stay for our Thorpe Park visit, and Simon’s boat turned out to be an excellent choice! From the very beginning, Simon was incredibly communicative, making the whole process smooth and stress-free. The boat itself was extremely comfortable, clean, and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. We were lucky with amazing weather the first weekend of October, which made the top deck views even more spectacular. It added a unique touch to our trip, and we couldn’t have asked for a better host or accommodation. I would highly recommend Simon’s boat to anyone visiting Thorpe Park – it truly made our experience memorable!

Sad to leave as we’ve just had such a wonderful time. The most peaceful holiday we’ve had. We all loved the boat and the surrounding countryside was very picturesque. Gary is very chilled, very friendly. Nice to have a host that makes you feel so welcome and at ease. Just a great holiday, we’ll definitely be back :)

Cosy Canal Boat City Centre for Family & Friends

MarkRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We had a lovely stay on this charming narrowboat! The location was peaceful, and waking up to canal views was a unique experience. The boat was cosy and well-equipped, though a bit tight for taller guests. Our host was helpful and responsive, even coming out to the boat to charge up the power bank. The only wrinkle was that WiFi wasn't working while we were there. But I would definitely recommend it for a relaxing getaway!

Luxury 43 Ft Motor Yacht. City & Broads

SallyRating, 5 stars4 months ago
Very enjoyable stay, everything that you needed was provided, plenty of wardrobe space, hangers and some toiletries incase you forgot. Whole boat was very clean, homely and fresh smelling. Danny's instructions to find the boat made it really easy to find and his communication was first class. Sitting up on the flybridge with a glass of wine watching the sun go down was just what the doctor ordered as they say. Only stayed 1 night and was hard to leave, but feel so refreshed and had lovely weather for our stay. Would highly recommend and definitely will book again but for longer next time. Thank you 😊

Had a lovely stay on Martyn’s boat. Peaceful setting with nice walks along the towpath. It’s compact & no frills, but everything you need is there and the log burner warms it up super quick. Makes it very cosy.

Dutch barge captain's accommodation.

MicheleRating, 5 stars1 month ago
This was a very special place to stay. We felt privileged to have access to this wonderful barge. It was so peaceful, sitting in the wheelhouse watching the tide come in and go out bringing an ever changing array of bird life in its wake. The place was clean and the bed very comfortable. Julian and his partner were friendly, helpful, inventive and creative. They gave us the information we needed, allowed us to come earlier than stated and although we shared the barge, it didn’t feel that way as our part was completely separate and private. We would love to stay again.

Pretty London narrowboat moored in private garden

LeeRating, 5 stars4 days ago
We really enjoyed our short stay on Lindsey canal boat. great location. Lindsey was lovely a great host who was very responsive to messages and went above and beyond explaining everything and was happy for us to message her when we were heading back after day trips so she could put the heating on in the boat for us ready for our return which was lovely. The location was lovely and peaceful and only a 10 min walk through the woodland to the main town and station making it super easy to get into London. We would absolutely stay again as we couldn't fault the accommodation or the hosts. Lee
