Flexible Short Breaks
Many hire companies offer short breaks, but you have to fit in with set start and finish times. We think you want to be more flexible than that, so you can hire Wildwood for as long as you like (minimum two nights), and with flexible start and finish times too. Generally Wildwood will be available for cruising any time after mid-day. And when we say three nights, we mean 72 hours for you to enjoy. If you choose to leave at mid-day you don't have to hand back the boat until mid-day - or later by arrangement - on the final day. If you don't set off until 4.00 pm you don't have to be back until 4.00 pm on the final day. We can offer cancellation insurance.

The Boat
Wildwood is 62 feet long and can carry up to eight people. The Heart of England Tourist Board has awarded Wildwood a FOUR STAR rating under its independent hire boat inspection scheme.

There are two permanent double beds and two permanent single beds, all of which can be left made up during the day. On request, one double can be set up as two singles for the duration of your cruise. The seats in the lounge can be used as single beds.
Wildwood is centrally heated, with a full size cooker and fridge. There is a colour TV/DVD player and a radio/CD player. A 12 volt cigar lighter fitting allows for charging mobile phones, camcorders etc. Calor gas, diesel and car parking are free. A comprehensive range of tourist information is kept on board together with cruising guides for the Midlands. We regret dogs and cats cannot be accommodated.

Wildwood is easy to steer and we provide training with practical lock operating instruction actually at the lock with you. All crew members are offered buoyancy aids, and of course we show you how everything on board works. Our mobile phone is always switched on, so we are instantly available to help with any problems that might arise whilst you are cruising.
