    Brilliant day on the river on a day boat hire. All the staff were so friendly and welcoming and boat was spotless. We left at 9.30 and returned at 6pm, the time just flew by cruising along the river. We navigated the lock at Marmont Priory and on to Outwell Basin to moor for picnic lunch (provided and ready on the boat from Graze by Gem - lovely, thank you) then came back. Even found a Kingfisher watching us sail back into March. Wonderful day, great boat and hire company, highly recommend - thank you 👍

    We have just finished a three night experience on Silver Fox. The boat itself was exceptionally clean and very well maintained. The staff are incredibly friendly and cant do enough to make your experience even more enjoyable. We managed to get up to Ely, great way to travel. Both lock keepers at Denver and Salters Lode were friendly and helpful in guiding us through the locks. Highly recommend this journey, great pubs on the way. And lots to see.

    We’ve just spent a fabulous day on the river, thanks to Fox Narrowboats. So grateful to have won the Easter competition and to have had this opportunity. Everyone we met was super friendly and helpful and the boat was great. The sun shone, the route was beautiful and I would highly recommend it. Thank you so much!

    We had a lovely trip, Monday to Friday. The boat was lovely, everyone friendly, and a beautiful memorable holiday amid the crazy Covid world. It was so good to get away on this peaceful canal and river trip. The staff were very friendly and helpful and got us off to a nice relaxing time. I highly recommend this company.
