Écrit par l'entreprise

Canal Boat Day Hire is a family-run business based at Apsley Marina in Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire. We offer self-drive and skippered narrowboat experiences on the beautiful Grand Union Canal, providing a unique and relaxing alternative to traditional days out. Our boat, Tilly, is available for private hire and can accommodate groups of up to 10 people. Whether you're planning a family day out, a birthday celebration, a catch-up with friends, a team-building event, or simply looking for a peaceful escape from everyday life, we aim to provide a memorable experience on the water. One of the things that makes us different is that no previous boating experience is required. We provide a comprehensive handover and practical instruction before every trip, helping customers feel confident and comfortable before setting off. Many of our guests are first-time boaters and are often surprised by how easy and enjoyable canal boating can be. We pride ourselves on offering a personal service from the moment a booking is made through to the end of the hire. As a small independent business, we genuinely value every customer and work hard to ensure each trip is safe, enjoyable and stress-free. Located just a two-minute walk from Apsley railway station, with direct links to and from London, Canal Boat Day Hire offers an easily accessible way to experience the tranquillity of the British waterways and create lasting memories with family, friends and colleagues.

Amazing family day out

We had such a fun family day out aboard Tilly. Paul was very helpful getting us up to speed with how to operate the boat and made us feel very comfortable. We'll definitely be back for a future visit!

We had a brilliant day

We had a brilliant experience,
Paul was a lovely gentleman, brilliant at instructing us how to drive the canal boat and we felt really reassure if we needed any help along the way, he was on the other end of the phone and also not far away.
The boat was in beautiful clean condition
And was equipped with everything we needed for the day
Beautiful views and scenery , right at the heart of nature.
The most relaxing, fun day out , which is also a bit different- would definitely recommend
Can’t wait to come back

Lovely boat trip with beautiful views!

We had a lovely boat hire and trip on Tilly on nice warm Friday evening. Paul was super helpful in getting us all set up, learning our way through the locks and being patient with us as we got more confident in steering the boat. The ride was lovely and green with some beautiful views - the children enjoyed helping out with the locks, feeding the ducks and having a snack and game time on the boat. The marina has some lovely restaurants as well or an enjoyable evening after. We hope to be back with friends and highly recommend the experience.

Thank you so much for your lovely review, Nidhi.

It was a pleasure meeting you and your family. I'm glad you enjoyed the evening hire and that everyone quickly gained confidence with the boat and the locks. It's always great to see children getting involved, whether that's helping with the locks, feeding the ducks or simply enjoying time away from screens on the canal.

We were certainly lucky with the weather, and I'm pleased you were able to make the most of the beautiful scenery and peaceful surroundings.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and for recommending Canal Boat Day Hire. I hope to welcome you back again soon, perhaps next time with your friends as well!

Best wishes,

Paul

We had a fantastic Father's Day…

We had a fantastic Father's Day experience on the canal boat. Paul, our skipper, was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable from start to finish.

He took the time to show everyone how to steer the boat and work the locks, making the trip both enjoyable and educational. His patience and enthusiasm helped us all feel involved and confident, and he made the whole day relaxed and fun.

The canal itself was beautiful, and having such a great skipper really made the experience special. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone looking for a memorable day out with family and friends. Thank you, Paul, for a wonderful Father's Day!

Thank you so much for your wonderful review.

It was a pleasure spending Father's Day with your family and I'm delighted to hear that everyone enjoyed the experience.

One of my favourite parts of a skippered trip is helping people get involved, whether that's steering the boat, learning how the locks work or simply gaining the confidence to try something new. It's great to hear that everyone felt included and enjoyed learning about life on the canal.

Thank you for your kind words about the scenery, the boat and the day as a whole. Reviews like yours mean a great deal to a small family business.

I hope to welcome you all back aboard Tilly again in the future.

Best wishes,

Paul

Thank you so much for your lovely review.

I'm delighted to hear that you and your family had such a great day out. One of the things I enjoy most about canal boating is seeing people put their phones away and spend quality time together, so it's wonderful to hear that was part of your experience too.

Thank you for your kind comments about the boat and the handover. I always try to make sure everyone feels confident and comfortable before setting off, especially those who are new to boating.

It was a pleasure meeting you all, and I really appreciate the recommendation. Hopefully I'll see you back on the Grand Union Canal again in the future.

Kind regards,

Paul
