The boatbuilding and maintenance team were delighted to receive these kind words from Mike and Malena about the work undertaken on their boat over recent times.

Once again Fox’s have done us proud with a great job of painting our narrow-boat. They have always been good to deal with, everybody has been kind and helpful. We’re attaching 3 piccies. The first is when the boat was new in 2005 (not from Fox’s) seriously under-powered with an outboard motor. The second after Fox’s extended it and replaced outboards with Isuzu 35hp inboard. Superb workmanship by Alan; and the last is this year when we had it repainted with another superb job by Gary. Not to forget Tracey and everybody else who were always pleased to see us and never minded when we took photographs of work in progress.

thanks to all Mike & Malena

“Having now arrived safely back at our home moorings we just wanted to write to you all to thank you so much for repairing Venturer for us.
Back in October we were at our ‘wits end. It made us believe that our ‘boating days’ we’re well and truly over!
Only after speaking to Alan were we reassured that all was not lost and that Fox’s would be able to repair our boat for us.
Since October you have all been terrific and frequent communications and reassurance have been a real comfort to us.
Venturer’s hull and engine well repairs seem to be all that we had hoped and we are sure that we can now look forward to future boating.
Not that Fox’s reputation needs it but rest assured we shout your praises to everyone we meet on the river!
Our grateful thanks to you all once again.
Best wishes.
David and Jane”

Thank you Fox Narrowboats for a great day…

“Well what a great time we had! We (three couples) decided to hire the day boat (March Adventurer) so we could take a trip to Outwell to enjoy the fantastic Fens scenery and fit in a spot of geo-caching.

The weather was wet for most of the day but that DID NOT spoil our enjoyment. The boat had a large outside covered area to the bow and all the facilities to make a cuppa and sit down inside (with the heating on so we could dry out).

Leaving the marina and heading for March town centre, we stopped at the March Town moorings and headed into The Ship public house for a Full English Breakfast. Then it was time for some caching. We managed to get three caches before heading into the wilderness of the Fens.

After going through Marmount Priory Lock, which was great fun for a bunch of newbies, we headed down the tranquil stretch of Well Creek to Upwell and up to the basin at Outwell. Here we turned round and headed back, stopping at the moorings at the Five Bells to grab a couple of caches, before heading home (and stopping at The Globe for an ale and warm fire).

Getting to March, once again we stopped at The Ship for a quick drink, before catching a few more caches on the way back to the marina.

We fitted all this in to one day and managed to get back to the marina on time to hand the boat back in one piece at 6pm.

Thank you Fox Narrowboats for a great day….the weather didn’t deter us….in fact it made for an entertaining day! We will be back!”

Fox holiday narrowboat

“Dear Team at Fox’s Narrow Boats

Just wanted to say thank-you for the brilliant break we had with you last September, everything from the booking to the holiday went really smoothly. Having only sailed on yachts I was wondering what a Narrow Boat holiday would be like, it was fantastic. The briefing and boat handling gave us all we needed to know.

The boat was well laid out, clean and comfortable, having everything we need to make the holiday perfect.

The Fens Waterways are peaceful and within a matter of minutes we were excited to see a flash of Blue as a Kingfisher flew to a nearby tree.

We found plenty to places to visit and eat, cooking a full English in the galley and eating at the front of the boat as the world went buy was relaxing.

I have certainly recommended your company to others and hope you have a busy season and will be back soon.“
