The Entire Boat Form 6 To 8 People Depending on the Boat

“A gadget free day out!

 

Pottering along watching the world go by, this really was a great family day out! We rented the boat on a typical autumn day and we all thoroughly enjoyed it! No one asked for gadgets at all and my daughter enjoyed helping steer and moor up!

 

We were given a map of the local waterways so we planned a route and stopped in Saxilby for a picnic lunch and then carried onto Torksey lock for cake before returning back to Burton Waters.

 

The boat is basic (but has a toilet in board) its really clean and the service was great. Booking was flexible and easy to do and Jacob gave a great introduction and explanation about the boat and what to do. My top tips… bring a picnic, maybe a card game, a blanket if it’s chilly and be prepared to unwind! The best bit for us was spending time together, talking and laughing while spotting birds and wildlife along the way!”
