FAQ  
Do I need a license to operate a boat?
No you will not need a license.
Is it difficult to operate?
No. The waters are mostly current free and cruising speed is only three to four miles per hour making driving a boat child’s play. Don't worry if you have never done it before, we give you full training (all included in the price!)
Where can we stop?
You can moor up wherever you like find a nice spot and tie up.
When do I collect and return my boat?
We ask that you arrive at 1:30pm on your arrival day in order to provide sufficient time to check-in, load the boat and receive the training and tour. On your day of departure, you will need to vacate the boat no later than 9.30am as we wish to avoid potentially penalising the incoming guests.
Is there car parking?
Car parking is available at all Tillerman locations. Many of our marinas are also close to main line railway stations.
Do you do day hire?
We do not operate day hire as our boats are equipped with sleeping facilities. Our minimum rental period is for 3 nights.
Do I need insurance?
No. The boat and the Tillerman contents are fully insured so if you have an accident do not worry. The only thing that is not insured by us are (a) your car which is probably protected under your motor policy and (b) your personal possessions which are also probably covered under your house contents insurance but please check your own policies carefully.
Is it easy to navigate?
Your Welcome Folder is full of information and good advice. You can also purchase canal maps at the marina or buy maps online if you wish, which will show you where to find bridges, water-points, villages and those essential canalside pubs!
What happens if we have a problem?
The dedicated Tillerman team are on hand twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week for emergencies. Your safety and enjoyment are our paramount concern.
