The temperatures are rising, this means we are looking forward to seeing more of you out on your Bishy adventures.
Not everyone wants the same from their boat hire, with that in mind before you book your boat please take a look of what we do not permit.
There is still question mark over alcohol, many companies have an outright no alcohol policy and in all honesty we are close to joining them. 'it's OK we have a designated driver!' it's not OK we want all party members safe, please respect our rules for your own safety and that of others, should you bring it we will ask you not to take it on board, the hire will be refused unless the alcohol is left behind.
We have been asked about water guns, why are they a problem? Groups with water guns, often staff outings with more than one boat, the aqua warfare leads to dangerous driving, people jumping around, moving around the inside and outde of the boat without due care, it's also antisocial to the other river users and for ourselves, it covers our equipment in river water that has to be sorted before another group can use it.
