This nineteenth century "activity holiday" is making a comeback. A Skiff holiday can offer a complete escape from the everyday frustrations of the 21st century, however you may choose to make some contact with todays riverside pubs, restaurants and occasional B&B. You will soon learn to handle our boats and become part of an age old boating tradition as described by Jerome K Jerome in " Three Men in a Boat, not forgetting the dog " 1889.

What is a Camping Skiff ?

Skiffs are wooden rowing boats about 24 feet long, built for ease of handling and efficient traveling. At night a canvas cover converts the entire craft into a snug tent with room for three people to sleep aboard. The cover can also provide weather protection during the day. You can expect to travel 12-20 miles a day. Handling the boat is quickly mastered, you do not need to be an experienced oarsperson.
