Here On The Spot Recommendation

This is an ideal choice for families or groups who don’t want the stress of a self hire barge, but who want to do their own thing! It allows much more space and comfort, and the crew are there to help you find the places to go. Your pilot will take you in whichever direction you want; your crew will direct you to local shops and restaurants; your breakfast is brought in everyday; and if you don’t want to cook, you can choose the half-board charter. It’s all in your hands, but without the hassle and worry of a self-drive barge.
