Relax on board. STATIC
Overall, everything about the accommodation was a pleasant surprise. Cleanliness, communication, and charm were all as good as it gets, and Joyce was a delightful host. Staying in a boat along with the time spent exploring the canal on foot really made the trip. Thanks!

Luxurious Boat in Regents Park
Our family of 3 loved staying in the houseboat. It was a great hideaway in the middle of the city. The boat was even larger than we expected and very comfortable.

Cosy cruiser inc bicycles & other boats
Thank you Andrew, we loved staying in your quirky Airbnb. The boat was cosy & warm. You were welcoming & knowledgeable. Left the car at the location & got the number 3 bus into Bath for the Christmas markets - fab location. Thank you

Motor Yacht Calypso
We had a lovely weekend on Calypso to celebrate a birthday and attend the Boat Show. Poole harbour is beautiful and there is all you need ( Tesco, restaurants etc) within a few mins walk of the boat. The boat is large and we were very warm and comfortable. Certainly a different experience for us.

Boutique Central London Narrowboat
Hello, We were two adults ans two kids and there was plenty of room to accommodate us 4. We had a great stay and a warm welcome. The location is great in Little Venice. Of course, if you go for this type of accommodation you know it will be somewhat different and exciting and this is exactly what you’ll get. Brushing your teeth with geese and ducks passing by - you can’t beat that.

Boat Accommodation, Torquay Marina, Devon
Princess Eve was a gorgeous place to stay, Paul was very helpful with meeting him with the key card for the marina etc. The boat itself is gorgeous, you can sit out on the front whilst having a drink and watching the sunset. Highly recommend. Archie

A relaxing break with a difference
Hi all. I share my impressions about the yacht: we were with friends for 2 days on the yacht. Very clean, has everything you need to stay, the owner is very friendly. To meet the dawn on the pier is a special pleasure. Will definitely come back and recommend to everyone

Waterfront, Luxurious & Spacious C/Heated Yacht
We stayed on the Gin Odyssey for the bank holiday weekend. Ric, the owner and host could not have been more accommodating. Clear instructions before arrival, all the information we needed for our break, wifi passwords, local recommendations he could not have been more helpful. The boat is located in a really good location, next to beach for fishing and crabbing and a 10minute walk from the harbour and restaurants. As a family of 5 with one younger child there was plenty for everyone. Highly recommended to anyone wanting something a bit different.

Sea Wolf 4 Berth 2 Cabin Motor Yacht in Lymington
We had a lovely stay aboard Sea Wolf and would definitely recommend. A friendly host who made sure we had everything we needed for a relaxing weekend! Great location, lots of lovely walks and nice shops and pubs nearby. Thank you for a wonderful time!

Yacht with two double cabins
Fantastic stay, fabulous location. Real experience, and the kids loved it. We didn’t bring enough towels, I think a heads up to bring additional towels would have being good, that’s my only comment. Thank you Christopher for a great stay!

52ft Motor Yacht, Plymouth Yacht Haven Marina
We had an amazing time renting the yacht in Plymouth – everything was even better than we expected! The hosts were incredibly friendly and always quick to help with any questions or requests we had. The location is perfect, with the Barbican just a few minutes away by ferry. We truly enjoyed our stay and will definitely be coming back again!

Yacht "X" 44 foot modern yacht on 5* Ocean Village
A truly unique experience spending the night on this beautiful yacht. Everything was clean, cozy, and well-prepared. A peaceful night gently rocking on the water—would definitely recommend for something a little different!

He is a genuine nice guy, and was Brilliant. We will definately be coming back to stay. There is so much to do around the area, and lovely walks, we should of booked for 2 nights. We can't recommend this place enough - Thank you Matthew 😊
Waterfront boat rentals

Rhapsody In Blue ~ Home on the Water
We had an amazing stay at Rhapsody in Blue! Would definitely recommend for a relaxing break away. Simon greeted us on arrival and gave us lots of information about the boat and the amenities and the boat was exactly like the pictures.

SULA Lightship - luxury apartment on the water
Excellent place to stay and Colin the host, was exceptionally helpful and knowledgeable about the boat and the surrounding areas. This was a beautiful and peaceful experience and so memorable, as such an unusual place to stay.

Luxury Couples Canal Boat for Hire in the Country
I met Gareth earlier to pick up the keys. I returned later that evening and had a fantastic evening, cooked myself some dinner and watched one of the DVD’s. This really is one of my favourite stays. If you’re looking for a boring hotel room then don’t stay here. If you’re looking for a fantastic cozy getaway then I would recommend this little Gem. Fantastic host and communication. Boat life is certainly for me.

Beautiful New Moon Narrowboat
The best experience we could have hoped for, actually much better than expected. The boat is beautiful and had everything we needed for our river trip. From kitchen to the wood burning stove, it was all just perfect. This was our first time taking a boat out and the help and route advice from Gary made a big difference. Gary was so kind and helpful, helping us along the way and even helping us carry our luggage to/from the boat. We can not recommend enough!

Tiny House Boat in Kings Cross / Coal Drops Yard
Ted’s boat is a great option if you’re looking for a unique stay in London! The location was very convenient and waking up to the sounds of the surrounding wildlife was really special.

Seahorse, Boat on the River Thames
Excellent neighborhood and location and very easy public transport to all the things we wanted to do in London. Children loved the boat and very to close to restaurant options around Kew Green. Had such a lovely time!

Unique Boat in Chelmsford City
We had a brilliant stay here, my 4 and 6 year old loved it, and we had a great time as a family, and then it was cost as a couple in the living space in the evening. Spotlessly clean and lovely extras like asking which toys and books for the kids. Amazing communication. Super convenient location for chelmsford, Colchester, Maldon, Hylands park.
