We are continuing to take bookings as normal for our hire boat season — including bookings from Novices.
Bedding Update: Please be aware that we are once again providing duvets, bedding and towels for hirers. However we politely request that you provide your own pillows and pillow cases for the season. Due to the amount of time spent with Novices, and close proximity on the stern deck, we still request that face masks are worn whilst tuition takes place. We will continue to monitor our guidance and decisions as and when needed. For the continued protection of our customers, and in addition to our normal strict cleaning regimes, we shall carry on applying a Microbe Shield at intervals on all hire boats during the course of the season.
Kindest regards. All the Aqua Narrowboats Team. The amount of positive comments we get is amazing. We are so lucky and I am so happy we got you to build it. Thanks so much.

Automatic bilge pump in stern and another in the cabin. Traditional stern greaser. The old wooden shed was creaking like anything, because the steelwork was hanging from the rafters.
Then we rolled the hull underneath, and lowered the cabin on top". Even though the shell was far from complete, Mike then started the fitout.
The engine went in, he lined the shell, and put in bulkheads. And then things came to a halt. The main part still missing was a well deck and bow. Mike is a fan of tugs, so the boat was always going to have a long foredeck. He mocked up the front of the boat in hardboard in the shed, to make sure it looked right and would fit together.
It's the sort of thing that you get better at with practice, so I reckon I could do a lot better if I had another go now! The 1. The fit out also needed to be completed with a tiny galley at the front of the cabin, and the boat needed to be blacked and painted. The boat finally went into the water in May this year, a mere fifteen years since it was started.
And it's a very neat little boat, which incorporates some good ideas - essential if you're to fit everything you need into just 38 feet. At the nose is a gas locker, deep enough to take full size gas bottles. Further back there's a water tank under the large well deck, plus a huge hold for storage. The deck itself offers plenty of space for sitting out in the sun relaxing.
The deck is quite high, so the forward doors have a sliding hatch above to make access easier. Inside, the galley is at the front, a position which Maggie prefers to a mid-galley. It's a tiny space, but has all the essentials including a Nelson stove bought second hand but unused off the internet for a knock-down price.
The portholes have shutters rather than curtains. The saloon has a built in sofa which pulls out to make a guest bed. There's a small flat screen tv under the gunwale, the only piece of equipment on board which needs volts - so there's a Maplins watt inverter fitted to power it. The shower room is an off-corridor design, with split doors so they don't take up much room.
There's a basin, a shower, and a porta potti loo, all fitted neatly into a tiny space. The walls are lined with vinyl - a neat solution as there are no joins except in the corners.
The cabin, at the stern, has an in-line bed and, in truth, not much else. There's not a great deal of storage space, just a couple of drawers under the head of the bed, and some shelves towards the stern.
That's because the bed doubles as an engine room.
