With your hedonists who grovel on a cushion with a novel
(Which is sure to sap the morals and the intellect to stunt),
And the spectacle nefarious of your idle, gay Lotharios
Who pursue a mild flirtation in a misdirected punt!
A Dialogue On Ethics ~ A D Godley
Many of our self-hire customers wish to hire one or two craft for just
an hour or two, and this is best done on a walk-up basis. With craft
available first-come-first-served, availability is usually very good,
but it can get busy on weekend afternoons from 13:00 to 17:00 with
the possibility of queues. However, with boats returning at regular
intervals, long waiting times are not very common.
Before hire commences we take a security deposit of a credit card
imprint and issue your time-stamped ticket. You don't need to commit
to a specific hire period in advance, as this type of hire is flexible
and open-ended. There is a minimum charge of one hour's hire, after
which your hire continues to be charged at the same hourly rate, but
broken down to the nearest 6 minutes. This helps us to charge you as
accurately as possible when you return to pay at the end of your hire
period.
You can also plan ahead and save money with our convenient self-hire
E-Ticket, which entitles you to a leisurely 90 minute self-hire
session at a discounted rate. Should you then wish to stay out beyond
90 minutes any further hire is charged at the standard hourly rate,
broken down to the nearest 6 minutes. Self-hire E-Tickets are
available for Canadian canoes, kayaks and rowboats, as well as punts.

Pre-bookings
|
|
We accept pre-bookings for standard self-hire under certain
circumstances. If you are a group wishing to hire 5 craft or more,
we may be able to accept a pre-booking depending on the date and time
you request. We are more likely to be able to accomodate pre-bookings
during our off-peak hours (weekdays and weekend evenings during the
summer months).
