Know before you go

• Parking is not included on the following bookings and you will need to leave time to allow for parking at The National Trust Car Park for visitors to Buscot Weir and then walking down to our Boat Yard next to the lock. It is a 10 minute walk but in peak summer you should allow 30 minutes for parking and walking down to us. If you have mobility issues please comment in the special requirements box and we can make special arrangements.
• On line booking is the easiest way to book as it shows live availability & you book securely at any time, day or night! There is a small booking fee for online bookings. You may also book direct by phone with no booking fee if there is some-one in the office.
• Life jackets can be provided, and recommended for vulnerable adults and those under the age of 16, please ask if you want one and exceptionally have not been offered one.
• Fuel/Power and VAT included, £100 security deposit required on day - held on the same card as booking.
• We are sorry but we cannot generally enter into Hire Agreements with large all male or all female parties. We also do not allow more than one boat to be booked by the same party, in effect then a group booking, unless we are notified in advance and have agreed this in writing.

Wet weather policy

Generally once made bookings cannot be cancelled - however we do have a severe wet weather policy. On the early morning of your hire you may receive an email or text like this which means we expect the weather to be very wet/stormy for the duration of your hire - you can opt to take a rain check and reschedule within the next 2 seasons if you received the following message.

• Hi, we are expecting a wet weather day today. You are welcome to come along and make the most of your day, however if you’d prefer us to issue a credit so you can reschedule for another day, please text us on 0794 7993784 with name of boat you were hiring and rain check message. We will issue you a credit note that you can use to rebook.
