Booking systemA booking chart for the following calendar year is
circulated in agreed priority order before the owners'
 annual meeting (usually held in October),
where the bookings for the next year are confirmed.

Each owner has a priority for that year, and moves up 1
place one year, 3 places the following year.

Each owner can choose two weeks (preferably as a fortnight)
in the 'high season' (April to September inclusive), and
one week in the remainder of the year, 'low season'.

By this route, thirty-six weeks are firmly booked before
the year begins. Allowing for time for winter maintenance,
the remaining weeks are booked with priority in reverse order
to the current chart, so having last choice originally, does have its
compensations.
Priority for school holidaysNone

General comments by vendor



We have been owners on Scherzo for six years and have thoroughly enjoyed our time on board exploring the canal system, so much so that we have decided to buy our own Narrowboat. 

The other owners are friendly and welcoming and we meet up every year in October to discuss the last years cruising and identify any problems that may need to be attended to before the next high season. 

Scherzo was taken out of the water last winter (2025) for blacking, essential repairs and a full survey and new domestic batteries were installed. All matters identified by the survey were carried out

Boat Safety Certificate issued February 2023.
