2nd time on a black prince narrowboat. The boats are well maintained and fitted out and are kept in very good condition. The handovers are detailed and thorough with a very friendly team at the marinas. Seen a few competitor operators from the same marinas but the black prince fleet always seem to stand out as been the best.

We were greeted at Falkirk by a superb, spotless, comfortable and well equipped boat. Helpful, friendly and professional staff all the way from booking to handing back the boat at the end of the holiday. We had no idea what to expect from narrow boating as this was our first time experience, and thanks to Black Prince we wouldn't hesitate to do this again and book the holiday through them.

We had a fantastic holiday on our narrow boat. The staff at the Black Prince site were very helpful, our boat "Martha" was very comfortable and immaculate. The handover was thorough. My only complaint is the week went too fast. So I would do two weeks the next time.

Leighton and the whole team at Stoke Prior were exceptional. Would highly recommend Black Prince for great boats with all mod cons and excellent service. Thank you for a great holiday.

Full marks for Black Prince- a fantastic experience. Our first canal boat holiday and confident that it won’t be our last! I did a lot of research before booking and chose Black Prince based on the information I had gathered about the quality of their fleet, their customer service and their passion for what they do. As novices, and with three young children (ages 10, 8 & 6) it was important to us that we chose a route that suited and that we were given adequate tuition before leaving the safety of the base. When we arrived in Stoke Prior we were given the warmest welcome, a very detailed handover of the boat, a personal review of our intended route (where tips and additional information was shared), practical tuition in boat and lock handling and the kids were fitted with life jackets which they happily wore for the week. We spent 7 days on board Rachel- a beautifully equipped boat that provided us with everything we needed. We opted for a “return “ rather than “circular” route to ensure we didn’t over stretch ourselves- lock gates are fun but they are also really hard work! The journey provided all the fun and experience we needed and we all loved it. We returned to the base to a welcome that was as warm as the one we had left 7 days earlier. Happy times and a great experience all round!

We had 11 nights in July, yep during the heat wave, Tardebrigge going up to Birmingham, then on to Wolverhampton, back down to go through the Netherton Tunnel, onto Stourport for a leisurely trip down the Severn to Worcester. A fantastic trip had by all 3 mutineers🤣🤣 and Capt Pugwash..

Boat was spotlessly clean and the team showed great concern for us and our dog on arrival due to extreme heat. A carpet off cut was produced for the two decks to spare her feet! Overall a great week in a lovely boat.

We had a great time in July when we had a week on one of your narrow boats. Everything was beautifully clean and the staff were very good with their instructions for the operation of the boat and the locks etc. We achieved two ambitions, going through harecastle tunnel and also down the anderton boat lift. The whole trip was just as we had hoped for. And we were sorry to leave "Agnes" at the end of a relaxing week but, "We'll be back!"

We had a great trip from Ely to Cambridge and back, the boat was easy to use and well kitted out for all our needs. The staff at the base were very friendly and the instructions and handover were all very clear, we didn't have any issues with driving the boat, parking etc and we've never been on a narrowboat before, would definitely recommend.

Throughly enjoyed our first narrow boat experience aboard Julie, a well equipped, immaculate boat. Really good company to deal with and our trip was made all the more easy following an expert introduction from Ian, whose patience and humour got us off to the best start! We will return!
