What our guests say
—about Captain Dave's canal Cruises
- Captain Tony was a wonderful host explaining the history of the canals and the boat but also providing humor and nuance. The treats and coffee provided were great and being on a smaller boat was a unique experience compared to a larger tour. Would definitely recommendread moreread lessClaire24/04/24
- Dave’s boat is beautiful and super comfortable. 12 max so nice that it’s intimate but fun to interact with others. Huge selection of drinks. Bonus to have a bathroom onboard. He was prompt and one of the most entertaining people I’ve met. Even though he does this all day every day, he exudes enthusiasm and genuineness. Five stars!read moreread lessSandra23/04/24

The sugar bread and coffee was lovely and the tour was fantastic. We cruised past the zoo and had a chance to see many animals. The small group was intimate and casual.

Sliding sunroof —We slide the roof open when the weather is right. The fun of an open sloop with the comfort of a salon boat.
