They are all available for self-drive day hire for up to 10 people from Cowroast Marina Tring.

For your comfort during the day, there is a flush toilet, a small gas cooker with four burners, a fridge, hot and cold running water, and a well-equipped galley. There is a radiator to keep the cabin warm on cooler days and a USB phone charger. Prices include Diesel and instruction.​ (Note. We don't supply pots and pans. Upon arrival you'll be given a safety briefing along with Boat and Lock operation instructions. Beginners are most welcome, as full training is given.
