Charters from Batchworth

I am writing to say how pleased my husband and I were with the cruise on the Pride of Batchworth last Sunday. Three generations of our family all enjoyed themselves very much, and one grandchild to day requested to repeat it another time. Thank you to you, David, Graham and Chris and others of your team whom we met, for a very well organised and efficient event, particularly teaching the four children how locks operate and encouraging them to help. I thought the boat was very well equipped and just right for the occasion.  As we also experienced fine warm sunshine for much of the trip, it really was a most successful 50th birthday celebration for our daughter. Thank you all very much.

What a fantastic day we had on Saturday, as you predicted the sun shone for us, everyone was in jolly mood and everything went to plan. Unfortunately just one of the lads was unable to come after all but all those who did had a great time. Thank you and all involved for the hard work that goes into this sort of thing – I hope we will be able to do it again sometime.

I just wanted to say a huge thank you for our boat trip for my Mums birthday. She had a wonderful time and we all really enjoyed the experience. We chartered the Pride Of Batchworth for 2 hours. The boat is comfortable with excellent seating arrangements for our passengers and the crew were so friendly and cheerful. There were 11 of us on board – our youngest was 4 and our oldest was 72 so there were a lot of us but we were all able to move around comfortably and the boat is very safe for the little ones. We were able to help out at the locks – which was fun for the adults as well as the children!  We could also connect our iPhone to the speakers for music. It was all perfect and we can’t wait to go again.  Thank you for making our trip so easy and enjoyable.

I just wanted to say a big thank you for yesterday. The canal trip was perfect and they were great, friendly and informative …. all my party asked me to pass on our thanks and to give positive feedback. I believe people don’t comment enough when they’re happy with things but all too quick to complain. And you were right about the weather.

I would like to thank Graham & yourself for super trip out. I had fabulous time & so did girls. You both helped make our day enjoyable & informative. I loved doing locks & learning about the rope marks with horses and the coal tax plaque & house. I will write up a review & put your details on face book as social media is great advertising. I know at least two of my ladies are interested in booking barge trips with you. Thanks again for super day.

We had a wonderful afternoon out today.  Of course the weather helped but the boat was perfect for the twelve of us and Steve and Chris could not have been a better crew.  We brought a picnic and I shall be recommending you to all my friends.

A big thank you to the crew and you for a wonderful time on the canal. The weather was a bit on the wet side, but everything else was perfect! Please pass on my thanks as we dashed a bit for cover, and didn’t say it properly to the people involved. We will definitely be back another time.

I just wanted to say a big thanks for a lovely day, nice friendly people and crew such a credit, an amazing place you have there, we will definitely come back again. My mum loved it. Thank you all for making her birthday special.

It was the unanimous view of everyone in my party that it was an excellent day out last Thursday.  Thank you to you personally for all your help both in our arrangements and on the day in showing us over “Roger”.  Please pass on our thanks to all your fellow Trust volunteers and especially our crew for making it such a successful occasion.  The Queen’s Award is fully deserved!

I just wanted to send a note to say thank you for a lovely afternoon boat trip on Monday. My mother had a wonderful time and the whole family enjoyed it.  Thanks to the volunteers who were great too, very entertaining and knowledgeable.

Just to say how greatly we enjoyed our trip on the Pride of Batchworth yesterday. Chris and Fabian worked very hard on what must have been the hottest day of the year – and we sat back and enjoyed every minute of it. Thank you again.

Once again the family had a very enjoyable time on ‘The Pride of Batchworth’ yesterday. Many thanks to you for making the arrangements – and to the crew for working so hard on a hot afternoon!

On behalf of myself & all who so enjoyed yesterday afternoon’s trip. I should like to thank the crew & all those who made the trip so memorable. I am sure we will coming back for more.
