'So you like the idea of a holiday afloat but don't fancy doing all the work? Perhaps a 'Hotel' boat doesn't give you the exclusive use of the boat or the 'hands on' aspect you were looking for? Either way, 'Hawkesbury' could be the solution. BM3CO offer 'Luxury Skippered Charters'. Yes, you get a highly qualified Helmsman who manages the boat for you and is independent from the main cabin accommodation. Short breaks and weekly charters are available around a multitude of cruising routes. You get to steer if you wish and operate the locks and bridges, even gain a recognised qualification if you are up for it! What you don't get are the stresses and strains of operating one of the largest, heaviest narrowboats on the entire system - leave that to the Skipper!
