All our hire bases will take you through a thorough handover on the day, and this will include the following: * - 'How to operate the narrowboat or barge and equipment onboard. * - The rules of navigation. * - How to use structures on the waterways, such as lift and swing bridges and locks. * - A staff member from your chosen hire base will join you for a cruise where they will show you how to handle the boat, and, depending on the location and route chosen, they may also show you through a lock or two. * - All our hire partners give you excellent instructions and will stay with you until you are happy to manage your hire boat on your own. But don't worry so much about all that for now; the important thing is, at this point, you don't need any experience, and you don't need to know anything about how to operate a canal boat (also commonly referred to as narrow boats, long boats or barges): a member of staff will show you everything you need to know when the time is right. Want to know more upfront? Read our tips for beginners here. FOR NOW, YOU JUST NEED TO CHOOSE A CANAL BOAT AND A LOCATION. For now, if you want to go on a canal boat hire holiday either on a narrow boat or wide beam, all you need to worry about is choosing the best boat and location for your holiday. This is where we come in :). Ultimately, there are many ways to do this; you could start with a particular travel time from your home, e.g. within 2 hours drive or a particular place you want to visit or one specific area of the country, or you might not mind on the location and prefer to go for the most affordable or indeed the most picturesque. Once youâve chosen a location you'll need to select a canal boat. You could of-course simply go choose the narrowboat you like the look or that is best priced for your crew size. However you'll need to decide if you want the best price or would prefer a little extra comfort e.g not needing to turn the saloon into a bed area, another thing to consider is access if you have limited mobility a Cruiser Stern may be advisable. Please get in contact if you would like us to help you choose a canal boat or location.
