Would you like to liveaboard a narrowboat for an extended time? Finding Escape The Rat Race is your answer!
As Specialists in long term liveaboard narrowboats we offer you the chance to take an extended break at a vastly reduced price (compared with holiday hire) to cruise the huge canal and river network in England and Wales.
We have a number of high quality boats under management, and with 3 years of experience as a business and a lifetime of canals behind us we are more than able to provide for your needs.
You can step onto a fully equipped liveaboard narrowboat and stay for as long as you like. Properly insured and licensed, Escape The Rat Race supports you as the minority owner providing maintenance as required. You are simply responsible for your consumables gas, diesel etc.
We offer a wide range of boats so there will always be something to suit you. Our prices start from £750 monthly while our most luxurious boat is just £1250 monthly.
Escape The Rat Race realised that although a weeks holiday on a narrowboat was a common occurrence, an extended break (why leave when you are just getting into it?) was not being offered by any of the current operators.
We toured other operators only to find a number of things:
- Other legal and insured operators tend to specialise in short term
holiday hire and charge huge fees for long term cruises.
- Longer cruises of this kind are different to a couple of weeks rental -
requiring specialised understanding of what is needed.
Unlike a boat booked with us, many long term hire arrangements
are uninsured and often illegal.
- Our boats are correctly licensed and fully insured for what we do.
Without being too technical, you simply put down a deposit against
breakage/damage and pay a monthly fee to occupy the boat. While you are on
board, you will legally be a minority owner (though without the costs
involved) - at the end of the stay you hand the boat back. while you are on
board, Escape the Ratrace looks after you, providing maintenance and
servicing as required. you are simply responsible for your consumables:gas,
diesel etc.
- Our boats are carefully prepared and set up for living aboard.
We prepare our boats such that when you arrive for your “Escape”,
the boat welcomes you like an old friend.
- You can go anywhere - Many other boats only travel along common tourist routes.
We give you the freedom to travel where you wish, winding your way along many different canals and rivers.
Please Take your time to look around what we offer, and do get in touch
with us if you have any questions or would like to know more.
We're always ready to respond - even if you dont see what
you like here put in an enquiry asking for what you want and we may be able to find a solution.!
