Flexible accommodation
Flexible living and sleeping accommodation allows our boats to be adapted to suit parties of all sizes. All cabins have either fixed double beds, convertible single beds or bunk beds. Some saloons also have a convertible bed/settee for added flexibility.
Privacy
Bathrooms and shower facilities are on all our boats. Many models have en-suite bathrooms for extra privacy. Toilets are operated with a traditional easy-to-use pump-flush mechanism, or for modern-day luxury, choose the Royal Mystique for its electric flush toilets! The Royal Mystique also has an outer deck warm water shower for those extra hot days and sandy feet!
Alfresco
Sundecks with tables, chairs and parasols are great for alfresco dining, or choose a model with a sliding roof so that you can relax in the comfort of your saloon while you cruise. With sunbathing areas on the roofs and patio doors at the front or rear of the saloon, there is plenty of variety to suit all tastes.
Kitchen galleys
Kitchen galleys are well-equipped with a gas hob and oven and either one or two fridges depending on the size of the boat. You will find enough crockery and pots and pans to suit the number of people on board.
Power supplies
Hot water, lighting and heating, as well as the running of on-board appliances such as fridges, are powered by the boat’s batteries which are kept charged by the engine as you cruise. All boats have 12V sockets suitable for electric razors and recharging mobile phones and many of our boats allow you to ‘plug in’ to an electrical supply while moored at marinas or canal side paths. A unique feature of the Royal Mystique is the ability to operate 220V appliances such as laptops and hairdryers whenever the engine is running.
Fuel & water
Your boat will be supplied with a full tank of diesel, (that’s enough for around 10-14 days cruising) so you won’t need to refuel during your cruise. You also set off with a full water tank - enough for 2-3 days depending on use. Water stations to top up the tanks can be found at intervals along the waterways.
Note: Pictures are of sample boats only, equipment & decor will vary from boat to boat.
