Danny and Natalie Hardiman, a husband and wife team, have embarked on a venture to provide a stress-free escape through their boat hire business, Brandon Creek Boat Hire. Their vision is to create a tranquil retreat appealing to visitors of all ages, offering a unique experience on the water.
Since its establishment in May 2021, the boat hire service has garnered significant interest from families, friends, and couples seeking a leisurely getaway. The couple has revamped their booking procedures to enhance the customer experience, with a focus on providing a serene and rejuvenating environment aboard their narrowboat and cruiser.
The 35ft narrowboat, christened Matilda, serves as the flagship vessel for private hires, accommodating up to eight passengers. Danny, a skilled welder, meticulously outfitted the boat following the challenges of the initial Covid-19 lockdown, ensuring a comfortable and safe journey for guests aged 25 and above.
Guests are reassured by the meticulous sanitation protocols implemented by the couple, who take pride in ensuring a clean and hygienic environment for all passengers. Special occasions are also celebrated aboard the narrowboat, with guests often booking the vessel for birthdays and other memorable events.
During a recent visit, reporter Daniel Mason experienced firsthand the tranquility of navigating Matilda along the peaceful River Little Ouse, a popular route known for its scenic beauty and wildlife sightings. The journey offers a unique perspective on the natural surroundings, providing a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life.
Brandon Creek Boat Hire offers various routes for exploration, including trips to Ely and Littleport, providing guests with diverse options to tailor their boating experience. Despite the challenges posed by social media, Natalie remains optimistic about the business’s prospects, emphasizing the joy and relaxation that a day on the river can bring to friends and families.
The Hardimans’ passion for boating dates back to 2019 when they decided to venture into the boat hire industry with a commitment to delivering exceptional service and a stress-free experience for their guests. Their dedication to creating a welcoming and serene environment has resonated with visitors seeking a unique escape on the water.
For those interested in embarking on a stress-free boating adventure, more information can be found on the Brandon Creek Boat Hire website or Facebook page.
