We ask that you leave a security deposit of £350.00 when checking in. This security deposit covers the boat insurance excess in the event of any damage caused to or by the boat whilst in your charge and is a surety against late and safe return on your part.   The security deposit will be returned to you in full at check out when the boat returns on time and in a good state of repair and cleanliness. This is a condition of hiring the boat and we thank you for your cooperation with this matter.

Remember — Bluebell and Cornflower are the holiday and there is no need to take expensive day trips while aboard. However, if you’d like to know more about what’s available in the local area, the following websites may be useful:
