The All-Weather Holiday
 Perfect weather helps any holiday. Unfortunately we can only guarantee the canalboat and not the weather, but even in wet or cold conditions our boats have ample room inside with large sliding or hopper windows and full central heating. The open front cockpits are able to seat all the crew in comfort for outdoor meals, and the rear deck has seats for the helmsman and crew. We are often complimented for our comfortable steering position.
Canal holiday cruises have something for everyone, whether you are an artist, fisherman, walker, helmsman, lock operator or out to sample the local ale in the many canal-side pubs. People are always friendly on the canals and good company can be enjoyed at the locks and villages. We hope you will discover good food, drink and entertainment to make the perfect holiday whether it be wet or fine.
Parasols & Umbrellas
 Since our English summers appear to be getting longer and hotter during the months of June, July and August all our boats are fitted with removable parasols in the forward cockpits. It is lovely to moor up and sit out in the front cockpit shaded by a parasol on a hot day and watch the world go by.
For wet weather all boats carry a set of waterproofs and an umbrella. The umbrella can be used to shelter the helmsman from either sunshine or rain. Wyvern are proud to be the first Company to provide both parasols and umbrellas as standard equipment.
Novices
Even if you have no previous boating experience you will be surprised just how easy it is to become a confident skipper of your canalboat. All the canalboats are purpose built for easy and responsive handling. If you have any doubts over any aspect of canal boating we will do our best to assist.
All our hirers are taken for a free tuition cruise by an experienced instructor at the start of your holiday and shown through a lock. lnstruction continues until you are confident of how to handle the boat. This will ensure a most enjoyable and memorable canalboat holiday. We also send hirers our comprehensive cruising guide and a DVD or CD Rom which covers all aspects of good boating and canal cruising.
