Karin and Filippo from Switzerland who have been hiring boats off us for 15 years. Thank you both so much for being fantastic customers. We would also like to say how grateful we were when you offered help when Covid hit. Thankfully we got through it, when sadly many businesses didn't. We really appreciated and will always remember your thoughtfulness. You were our customers but will remain our friends.

The barge dictates the pace of your holiday - slow and relaxed.
