Boat vacation rentals in England

Overall, everything about the accommodation was a pleasant surprise. Cleanliness, communication, and charm were all as good as it gets, and Joyce was a delightful host. Staying in a boat along with the time spent exploring the canal on foot really made the trip. Thanks!

Our family of 3 loved staying in the houseboat. It was a great hideaway in the middle of the city. The boat was even larger than we expected and very comfortable.

Thank you Andrew, we loved staying in your quirky Airbnb. The boat was cosy & warm. You were welcoming & knowledgeable. Left the car at the location & got the number 3 bus into Bath for the Christmas markets - fab location. Thank you

Angel and Thomas are wonderful hosts. They made us a delicious breakfast, helped us out with tips about food and how to spend our time in the area. And of course the boat is amazing and very cozy!

A very special experience, with great communication and responsiveness with any questions we had.

Great place, nice and relaxing. Is ideal for a family get together. Lovely host and very helpful. Would definitely recommend to friends.

Booked for working in area so great fun

We had a lovely weekend on Calypso to celebrate a birthday and attend the Boat Show. Poole harbour is beautiful and there is all you need ( Tesco, restaurants etc) within a few mins walk of the boat. The boat is large and we were very warm and comfortable. Certainly a different experience for us.

Unique stay right in the heart of Portsmouth. It’s a boat, I had the best nights sleep I’ve had in ages being gently bobbed about. It had everything you needed for an overnight stay. Timothy was very though with his communications which made it easy to check in even when we arrived late in the evening. The marina is secured and manned, and helpfully they have trolleys, so I’d suggest going and checking out the marina first, grabbing a trolley and taking it back to the gunwharf quays carpark, much easier than lugging cases/holdalls about. Speaking of the carpark you can park right next to quays, and if you take your ticket to the parking attendant you can get a discounted rate of £4.70 for 24 hours. Perfect for a unique experience stay. Not gonna lie, kinda want a boat now.

Despite running a little late due to traffic, Paul met us and provided a great intro to both the yacht and the marina. A genial and welcoming host who also took the time to introduce us to his wife, who in turn was an absolute delight too. The boat itself provided a truly unique experience for a couple that are land locked in the home counties and I would thoroughly recommend it. We had a great weekend and came away wishing our stay had been longer. John

Hi all. I share my impressions about the yacht: we were with friends for 2 days on the yacht. Very clean, has everything you need to stay, the owner is very friendly. To meet the dawn on the pier is a special pleasure. Will definitely come back and recommend to everyone

We stayed on the Gin Odyssey for the bank holiday weekend. Ric, the owner and host could not have been more accommodating. Clear instructions before arrival, all the information we needed for our break, wifi passwords, local recommendations he could not have been more helpful. The boat is located in a really good location, next to beach for fishing and crabbing and a 10minute walk from the harbour and restaurants. As a family of 5 with one younger child there was plenty for everyone. Highly recommended to anyone wanting something a bit different.

We had a lovely stay aboard Sea Wolf and would definitely recommend. A friendly host who made sure we had everything we needed for a relaxing weekend! Great location, lots of lovely walks and nice shops and pubs nearby. Thank you for a wonderful time!

Fantastic stay, fabulous location. Real experience, and the kids loved it. We didn’t bring enough towels, I think a heads up to bring additional towels would have being good, that’s my only comment. Thank you Christopher for a great stay!

We had a wonderful time we was met by glen who was the perfect gentleman couldn’t have been more approachable and kind,made us feel extremely welcome and nothing was too much to make sure we had everything that we needed to enjoy our stay. Emma has a Beautiful boat and has gone to extreme lengths to ensure everything is to hand that you could possibly need to have an amazing stay.

Wow, what an incredible experience! Staying on Steve's 40ft yacht exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I stepped aboard, I was blown away by the luxury and attention to detail. The cabin was surprisingly spacious and comfortable, with all the amenities you could need. Waking up to gentle waves and breathtaking ocean views each morning was truly magical. Steve was an excellent host, ensuring we had everything we needed and even taking us on a sunset cruise one evening. The yacht's deck was perfect for sunbathing and enjoying cocktails under the stars. Overall, this stay was better than I could have imagined. If you're looking for a unique and unforgettable getaway, I highly recommend booking Steve's yacht. It's an experience you won't soon forget!

We had so much fun exploring Cambridge and Ely from the boat. It is a fantastic way to get to explore the area and have an adventure at the same time. The boat is lovely and was easy enough to navigate after getting a lesson from Gary. We would love to do it again and highly recommend!

Simon was a really lovely bloke and extremely helpful and attentive. The boat itself is gorgeous, spacious and relaxing. The local area is stunning and tranquil The boat house food was lovely and everyone we met was friendly and welcoming It felt like a lovely community of boat lovers and I really enjoyed being part of it for a night If you want a lovely couples get away from the stresses of family life then this is perfect A night felt like a week away and we will definitely be returning Thanks again Simon and Sharon for letting us stay on your beautiful boat. It was a pleasure Lee

We had a lovely relaxing week aboard "Lagertha" Beautiful location, very peaceful, lots of wildlife to look at on seating at the stern of the boat while you have your breakfast or relaxing on the garden furniture during the day's and evenings. Everything you need is provided for your stay, we'll equipped kitchen, lovely comfy bed. Katy and Danny were easy to contact and very friendly and helpful with any questions we had during our stay. Lovely welcome gifts when we arrived. If you looking for relaxing, quiet break in a beautiful country setting, we would highly recommenda a stay aboard "Lagertha" Would love to return for another stay.

Excellent place to stay and Colin the host, was exceptionally helpful and knowledgeable about the boat and the surrounding areas. This was a beautiful and peaceful experience and so memorable, as such an unusual place to stay.

Thank you for being a great host and letting us stay in your beautiful boat. We had a lovely peaceful overnight stay. Very helpful and informative host. The log burner is a bonus!

Excellent neighborhood and location and very easy public transport to all the things we wanted to do in London. Children loved the boat and very to close to restaurant options around Kew Green. Had such a lovely time!

We had a brilliant stay here, my 4 and 6 year old loved it, and we had a great time as a family, and then it was cost as a couple in the living space in the evening. Spotlessly clean and lovely extras like asking which toys and books for the kids. Amazing communication. Super convenient location for chelmsford, Colchester, Maldon, Hylands park.

Lovely and quite very tranquil place spacious clean had everything we needed .lovely cafe on site with great food well stocked shop in village good pub food This was something different staying on a boat I can’t recommend it enough . Definitely would stay there again
