“We like Barnes Brinkcraft, we have just booked with them for the fifth time, the boatyard is ideally situated for us as we travel down by train and the station is nearby. The boatyard staff are all very friendly and helpful from the booking staff, reception staff to the trial run drivers. The welcome hampers are a nice extra touch also and much appreciated.”
“Booked a Brinklet boat online which was straightforward, didn't get a confirmation email but rang the next day and was quickly sorted. The boat was a good size for a day boat and easily accommodated 2 adults, 1 child and 2 dogs plus bags. The staff were friendly and helpful, couldn't ask for more. Would definitely recommend.”
Thanks Kevin

Sorry the auto confirmation did not come through, but glad we could sort it out quickly
Hope to see you again on another sunny day soon

“Original booking was for 18th Aug. Had to cancel due to wife in hospital with kidney infection. There for 10 days. My booking was cancelled and monies held. Called to rebook for late October. All handled with ease, this booking is cheaper and will be added to the fuel deposit for a possible refund on return. Very happy with how our issue was dealt with and very happy with our new booking. Great service and support.”
“Really impressive customer service, from initial phone call to follow-up emails and information / pre-arrival process. Prompt, efficient and friendly.”
“We had a fantastic day out. We hired a picnic boat for 4 adults and 1 child of 5. She enjoyed it a lot as the boat design allowed her see swans, herons , ducks etc really well. Easy to use. Life jackets provided. We got there early enough to be able to park outside too. Would recommend”
