This company and boating experience is highly recommended! So easy to book online, great communication from the team in advance and a super helpful, welcoming crew on the day. We felt hugely comfortable with navigating the locks thanks to their help, and absolutely loved cruising along the river in a four hour hire. We headed out of town towards Great Barford and were stunned by the abundance of wildlife in and around the water.

We hired out 'the Bruce' today for 4 hours. The staff on arrival (I wish I got his name) was so welcoming, informative and brilliant with my 2 little ones and very nervous step dad. He explained river etiquette, safety and how to work the locks without it sounding like a lecture. The boat was very well maintained and contained a river map, sound system and even pillows and a blanket. Excellent day out, fabulous service. Will absolutely be going back for another day out!

Lovely day with my son on his birthday. Friendly, competent checkin. Plenty of room on the dory for 2 or even four. Went down to the pretty pub at Great Barford. 3 hrs each way roughly, but timing depends how lucky you are with the locks. Apart from nearly emptying the river with a lock with paddles at each end open, my son managed to learn both the principles and the tricks.Strongly recommended as a day out.

A great way to spend a warm Saturday morning cruising the Ouse on board Dory.
We all had a great experience even mooring outside the Priory to get some Greg's Sausage Rolls. We hired the boat for 4 hours and managed to navigate Little Paxton lock with some friendly help. Brilliant time was had by all. A very friendly indepth briefing made using the boat very easy. We'll definitely be booking again soon.

We had a lovely 2 hour trip on Bruce. The boat was sized for 8 people and we had 5. There was plenty of space for us. I can imagine 8 large people would be a squeeze, especially if they brought bags, but I'm sure it would accommodate 4 adults and 4 children, for example. We were able to move about easily and everyone had a turn at driving the boat. They were very understanding of us having 2 people with limited mobility (including one with Downs Syndrome) and ensured we would have the easiest access. There is a step into the boat, but we made it with not too much difficulty. I feel that some of the previous reviewers had elevated expectations! For £60 for 2 hours it was excellent value for money. Some boat hire is considerably more expensive. The boat was tidy and equipped with what was needed to moor and go through locks. There were also cushions and a blanket. It was very simple to drive and we all took turns, including the person with Down's Syndrome (with only a tiny bit of help), who did a great job of being captain for a while. We were able to go as far as the first lock, and returned, at the lowest speed. We'll definitely be back!

Fantastic little boat, we hired DORY for 4 hours and it was beautiful. Lovely day, easy to drive and instructions are perfect. Definitely going to be back again!

Fun way to pass couple of hours with friends and family when we got together before our sons wedding. Efficient online booking system and good safety briefing, Bruce and Dory were comfortable for our group of 10 on a sunny, warm day.
We took a cool bag with drinks and a few snacks to keep us going. Great seeing lots of swans and a heron.
Highly recommend for a relaxing experience. Thank you!

We hired Nemo for a couple of hours which was ideal for a family of 4. The safety briefing and tuition was first class, and we had a great couple of hours on the river. Everyone had a go at driving and we even stopped off for ice cream. It was easy to book and pay online too. Would highly recommend.

Hired "Bruce" for a couple of hours today and it was just really lovely - straightforward, friendly service and a lovely stretch of river. Saw multiple herons, kingfishers and comfortably had 5 on the boat - including a 3 year old who loved all the swans who followed along.

I had booked at short notice to make the best of the weather, am I pleased I chose this company of the ones I considered.
The whole set-up is relaxed yet professional. I lovely warm welcome with a briefing about the boat and river conditions and off we went downstream. The one lock we experienced was easy and fun and we got somewhere between the Paxton nature reserve and Buckden Marina (half day hire). We spent a lot of time on half power as it was so quiet and the best way to experience the tranquillity of the Great Ouse.
I could not recommend more highly, we will be back.
Thank you

I hired the smallest of the boats - the Dory - for four hours at a cost of £70. The briefing was comprehensive and covered all safety and operational aspects. The boat was clean and ready for our arrival and we encountered no problems. Thoroughly enjoyable.

Was recommended to experience this and had an amazing time. Wanted to do something different and managed to get a 2 hour booking on a sunny Saturday in June! Would come again for the 4 or 8 hour booking to see more. Linked the sound system to Spotify, played some chilled music, opened a beer and let the children (calmly) control it down the river! The kids thought it was so fun and couldn't stop talking about it afterwards. All safety requirements covered in 15 minutes beforehand. Lovely ladies and a puppy running the show! Will be back! A decent pub next to them to have a great base to eat afterwards!

This was a last minute unorganized trip on the river and the staff managed to arrange the trip within the hour!
Me and my girlfriend thoroughly enjoyed our first boating experience onboard the 'nemo' despite the overcast weather.
The boat was cute well kept, very easy to use and the pillows, blankets and umbrellas were a nice touch.
I cannot stress how friendly, kind and expert the staff were, we will definitely be visiting again!

Absolutely lovely experience, we hired the 8 seater Bruce for 2 hours, so relaxing cruising up and down the canal on a sunny day, staff were very helpful and friendly, we definitely will be returning and highly recommend!

Despite both locks being out of use we had fantastic afternoon on the river. The Bruce is well maintained and worked without any issues. Very simple to operate. The price is very reasonable and the staff was extremely helpful. Thank you and we are sure we will come back again 😊
