Bookings:

The boat is hired all year by the general public. Shareholders have three options.
1- Take income from hirings;
2- Hire the boat themselves during the season at a discounted rate;
3- Use the boat free out of season (paying only for consumables).

The combination of these three gives a very flexible low cost scheme, not matched by any other scheme.

For school holidays

Shareholders have freedom to use boat during school holidays as and when required

Comments:

This is an extremely flexible scheme on an incredibly interesting boat at a very reasonable price with ZERO maintenance charges.

The boat is operated and maintained by Saisons who cover all management, maintenance, insurance, etc. leaving no charges payable by shareholders.

The scheme is believed to be unique to Saisons and has been operated on previous boats for 13 years now.

The boat is a one off tug style narrow boat with a quiet modern Lister engine under the back deck. It has a pseudo-back cabin with a double bed hole. It also has a separate toilet compartment and shower room (which join across the aisle). The galley includes the usual equipment. The lounge has a solid fuel stove and settee which converts to a double bed. The very long (12ft 6)front high level tug deck has large storage areas underneath.

Check www.saisons.co.uk for pictures and layout and further details. Hire the boat if you would like to try before you buy!
