Brilliant day on the river on a day boat hire. All the staff were so friendly and welcoming and boat was spotless. We left at 9.30 and returned at 6pm, the time just flew by cruising along the river. We… navigated the lock at Marmont Priory and on to Outwell Basin to moor for picnic lunch (provided and ready on the boat from Graze by Gem - lovely, thank you) then came back. Even found a Kingfisher watching us sail back into March. Wonderful day, great boat and hire company, highly recommend - thank you 👍

We’ve just spent a fabulous day on the river, thanks to Fox Narrowboats. So grateful to have won the Easter competition and to have had this opportunity. Everyone we met was super friendly and helpful and the boat was great. The sun shone, the route was beautiful and I would highly recommend it. Thank you so much!
