Willow is a fully licensed hotel narrowboat, providing a true private charter service, cruising the English canal system. If you come with us, you will be exclusively chartering Willow, along with your crew and hosts. There will be no other guests aboard. Whatever the charter option, the accommodation is fully en-suite with a full-board (all meals included) tariff - there are no hidden extras. This ‘Private Charter’ service is a very different service to traditional Hotel Narrowboating. Different because, rather than inviting customers to join a pre-defined cruise, we design each cruise to each client's own private requirements - whether the cruise charter is a full holiday, a relaxing short break, or a narrowboat handling and consultancy cruise. In the past a canal cruising holiday on a narrowboat meant either a ..... Traditional Hotel Narrowboat - 'full board' and 'professionally crewed' - up to 8 other guests on board;
If you are happy to do all the
boat handling yourselves (as well as all the cooking and washing up)
then hiring a narrowboat could still be the answer. If you
want all the catering to be done for you as well as having a
professional crew to move the boat, then a traditional hotel narrowboat
cruise may suit better - but with all those other guests and crew
occupying a 70ft narrowboat (some are shorter) - will it be cramped?
(and what if you 'don't get on' with another guest).
We offer the innovative third option of Private Charter. We believe our private charter service encompasses the benefits of both Hiring AND Traditional Hotel Narrowboating holidays, but without the pitfalls. We discuss the ‘pros and cons’ of hiring a narrowboat vs traditional hotel Narrowboating, and then highlight the advantages of private charter, via the following page link. Types of Holiday. Most people already know how beautiful our canals can be - how peaceful - how interesting (particularly the ‘narrowbeam canals’). Such beauty, peace and interest are irrefutable and we invite you browse this website to learn more about our Inland Waterways, whether or not you become charter clients. WILLOW IS A NON-SMOKING BOAT. |
