Our Terms
Canal Boat Hire
1. BOOKINGS will only be accepted when made upon the official
booking form and accompanied by the appropriate deposit. The balance
is due 8 weeks before the date of hire. An additional security deposit of £60 for shortbreak or weekly hire will be collected before the boat is
handed over.
2. CANCELLATION. Should the hirer cancel the booking we will make
every endeavour to re-let the boat. If we are successful the hirer
will no longer need to pay the balance of the hire charge but the
deposit will be retained to defray expenses. If we are unsuccessful
then the hirer remains liable for the balance of the hire charge.
3. CANCELLATION INSURANCE is not included, should you wish this type
of cover, please make your own arrangements.
4. RETURNS OF BOATS. Boats must be returned at the end of the cruise
in a clean condition and vacated at the agreed time and place.
Failure to do so will incur loss of the security deposit.
5. EQUIPMENT. The hirer is responsible for the boat and equipment
and is expected to report and pay for any equipment damaged, broken,
lost or stolen.
6. INSURANCE of the boat and the hirer's liability to other parties
(up to £1,000,000) is included in the hire charge.
7. HIRER'S PROPERTY. We regret that we cannot accept any
responsibility for damage to passenger's property, baggage, motor
cars etc howsoever caused.
8. REPAIRS are White Horse Boat's responsibility and must not be put
in the hands of others without permission. The hirer MUST notify the
company immediately if repairs or service are needed. The hirer will
be responsible for the cost of any repairs caused by negligence.
9. NAVIGATION. No boat may tow another, travel after sunset or
before sunrise without prior permission of the Company. The hirer
must obey any instructions given him by the Company or British
Waterways.
10. RESTRICTED CRUISE. White Horse Boats accepts no liability and
shall not be bound to make any financial adjustment in the event of
cruising waters being restricted through repair works, floods, lack
of water, lock closure or any other cause beyond the control of the
Company. In this event White Horse Boats reserve the right to move
the boat to a temporary base without prior warning in order to
provide the hirer with the maximum cruising distance.
11. No CANDLES or BARBEQUES to be used on the boat.
12. ALCOHOL. The person in control of the craft is reminded that the
boat driving laws are the same as those for driving cars.
13. PARKING. On arrival at the Wharf you may need to purchase a
parking ticket as the whole wharf area is now ‘Pay & Display’ (8.00
am – 6.00 pm) but after loading your belongings onto the boat we
will escort you to a private parking area nearby.
NO PETS!
Please do not bring pets, we cannot let you sail if you do so.
