Your recent holiday on Duck - Black Duck from March Wharf
Three nights. Second night moored at Ferry Meadows, back to March town to moor up on Third night. Great mix of mooring styles and different types of locks.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us! We're delighted to hear that you found the service excellent and appreciated the clear safety and handling instructions — we always aim to make our guests feel confident and well-prepared. We're sorry to hear about the mix-up at check-in and appreciate you bringing it to our attention; we'll make sure to improve communication at the boatyard to avoid this in future.
It’s great to know the boat was well equipped, even if a little dated, and that you enjoyed the journey despite some areas of the canal needing maintenance. The locks, tunnels, and bridges really do make for a special adventure! We’re thrilled you had a great time and are already thinking about doing it again — we’d love to welcome you back!
