Dayboat - Warwick Wanderer

Dayboat Hire Date 2nd June 2009
We had a great team building day in June 2009. Our two fundraising teams from Macmillan Cancer Support in Coventry, Warwickshire and Northamptonshire and Birmingham and the Black Country got together to plan their next big event - the World's Biggest Coffee Morning. It was fabulous - the weather could not have been better - the sun shone all day! The boat was absolutely ideal as one team were able to work away below deck (below deck ?) whilst the second crew got down to some heavy relaxation; making the odd cuppa, sorting out the navigating and even conquering the odd lock. Thankfully there was enough time for the teams to swap over and take on the other tasks in hand. Brilliant and the day has been talked about endlessly since including the odd bit of showing off to other fundraising teams across Macmillan - we are the envy of all and there is already a request in to repeat next year -hope it's available!!! 

Thanks guys - highly recommended!                               Macmillan Logo

Many thanks for a great day out on your lovely boat. My sister in law loved her 50th birthday, so much so that she now wants to live on the water!!!
Compliments to Neil for his punctuality, flexibility, expert tuition and lovely manner.
 Thanks once again,
From Rachel, Simon, Kym and Maddie  xxxx

Dayboat Hire Date 7th April 2009

Just a note to say thank you so much for the hire of the Warwick Wanderer yesterday.  We had a really special family day out and one that we will all remember fondly for many a long year.
 
Thank you also for all the care and attention you provided to us and also for the surprise bottle of wine for Karen's birthday - very much appreciated.
We have already starting telling our friends what a great day we had and will certainly recommend you any chance we get.
Many thanks again and here's wishing you a very successful (and busy) Summer.
Kind regards
Roger, Karen, Alex, Jamie (and Minnie too)

Dayboat Hire Date 29th March 2009
Just wanted to let you know that we thoroughly enjoyed using your boat for the day!
May I also say, well done to Neil for giving us such fabulous instruction, in a clear, positive and understanding way.
We are keen to hire a boat again.  I think we have the BUG!

Howdey !

It went REALLY well thanks, everyone enjoyed themselves and had a go at steering but it soon became apparent who the Captain was and the regulars got stuck into the locks !!!  We had great weather in the morning then rain hit us at lunch so we moored up and ate onboard and sailed back through some showers but everyone came prepared and the few glasses of wine at lunch helped !!

Will deffo do it again, the little chap was really helpful and Ive kept the details for a re-run perhaps on a yearly basis.  

Thanks again for thinking of it for us, it was very much appreciated by all

Dayboat Hire Date : 11th August 2008

I am writing to reiterate how much we enjoyed our family day out on the Warwick Wanderer on 11th August, and to thank you for your advice in planning our trip. Despite all but one of us being narrow-boat novices everyone was able to join in and have their turn. The children loved opening and closing the lock gates. We were also impressed by the standard of the cabin - clean and everything we needed.
Thanks again. I'm sure we will be narrow-boating again!

Thank you so much for a lovely day out on your boat. I was very impressed with the vessel and its facilities and found it so much better than other boat trips I have taken. I would recommend this boat to anyon but especially families with small children. We took three children aged 5, 4 and 2, and felt very safe to let them wander freely on the boat (lifejackets were provided). All in all we had a great day despite the rain, and are planning to hire again!
