Dawn
Dawn is our dayboat. We run trips on Dawn from mid April to October, with special events during the year. In addition to the 2 crew, Dawn can accommodate a maximum of 10 passengers including up to four in wheelchairs. A typical day trip lasts for up to 4 hours, visiting either Odiham Castle, or the Barley Mow wharf.
For boarding, we provide a ramp onto the deck, from where a hydraulic lift gives easy access to the spacious cabin and toilet.
Cabin windows can be rolled up to give fresh air on warm days. Central heating keeps the cabin warm on cooler days
There is a gas hob, with kettle and mugs for making hot drinks. Passengers are encouraged to bring their own picnic. Stackable chairs and a folding table are provided in the cabin and may also be used for picnics ashore.
Dawn's aft deck has a safety rail all around and is large enough for a wheelchair as well as the helmsman when under way.
Assistance dogs are welcome on board.
Madam Butterfly
Madam Butterfly is a fully equipped holiday boat, sleeping 7. She has a hospital bed, hoist and fully accessible bathroom, allowing those with mobility problems to take a canal holiday accompanied by carers, friends and family.
