Guide To Fox Narrowboats Dayhire

We had a really positive experience with Fox’s Narrowboats in March and felt it was important to leave a proper review.

From start to finish, the team were knowledgeable, approachable, and genuinely helpful. Nothing felt rushed or dismissive — questions were answered clearly, advice was practical, and you could tell they care about both the boats and the people using them.

What stood out most was their calm, down-to-earth approach. Whether it was guidance, reassurance, or simply taking the time to explain things properly, they made what could have been a stressful experience feel manageable and well supported.

It’s clear that Fox’s Narrowboats have a strong reputation for a reason. The service felt honest, professional, and rooted in real experience rather than sales talk.

Overall, a dependable and friendly outfit — we’re very grateful for the support and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone navigating the waterways in the area.

Moored , fueled, pumped and serviced at reasonable price. Boat was made safe for long journey to london.

Lovely people , very well organised and friendly. Would very much recommend to anybody in the area.

Absolutely amazing adult (and doggos) family day out with Fox Narrowboat’s day hire. Brilliant organisation and communication. Helpful and knowledgeable staff. Cannot recommend enough!

We had a fantastic day out on “Adventurer” which was a lovely narrow boat that was in great condition and performed impeccably, as a group of 10 including young ones. Being complete novices with no experience on the water whatsoever, we decided to steer clear of any locks and take the ‘easy’ route which was great. We did get slightly lost but managed to find our way back and were able to communicate with the team back at base throughout although there was no real need. Overall would highly recommend.

Fab day out on the Cambridgeshire Fens on a narrow boat. Not even the rain could put a damper on the day!
