What a lovely relaxing place to go with the family, they work on a first come first served basis, we queued for around 15 minutes, staff are very helpful and... read more informative of what you need to do, just go out on the river sit back relax and cruse up and down.
I would recommend 60 minutes or the 90 minutes, the price inthink is very reasonable at £24 for 60 minutes hire with a £20 deposit which gets returned at the end.

  A fabulous day out with the family on" Mr Badger " great experience, negotiating the Locks down to Waltham Abbey. Boat well equipped and staff friendly - cannot fault!

  This year we took out widebeam dayboat Mr Mole. After some delay on getting off (we were ready before the outer boat was) we headed south.
Boatyard advised some people... read more that we could not go through lock 4, and others interpreted as 4th lock, but it seems both are true, though clarity and readons would have been appreciated.
The boat was well equipped except for matches of which there were 2....limited cups of tea then!
There was plenty of room for 8 adults to sit inside or outside.
We had a great day, aided by the sun which came out late morning. I would definitely recommend the widebeam!
