Kenavon Venture - Charter Trip Information
>



Welcome to our charter programme.
Each season we operate many charters and we are always mindful that the trip should be geared to the needs of the group on board. They can be from 2 hours up to 3 hours or longer in special circumstances. There is a choice of direction including down some of the locks of the famous Caen Hill Flight.

We are always happy to talk about your requirements, and our booking managers are always happy to assist you in planning your charter.
If you are going ahead with a charter, please book, giving plenty of notice, especially if you have a
particular date in mind for an important celebration. We usually start booking  in the October of the preceding year. However, we are often able to book at short notice.

Kindly note that charters are not normally available when our public trips are taking place. This would be between 2.00 and 5.00pm on Wednesdays, Saturdays, Sundays and Bank Holidays. We also ask
that your charter is timed to arrive back at Devizes by 10.00pm. 
To book or make enquires, telephone  0800 028 3707 or email - kenavonventure@katrust.org
We accept card payments for all our trips.

On Your Charter
Once you have decided on where you are going  you will probably wish to know what happens during your relaxing trip along the canal.
One of your first thoughts may well be what to eat!
We have a selection of menus available ranging from cream teas to a full buffet, fish & chips, ploughmans etc.
We have a well stocked bar on board and we request that all drinks consumed on board are
purchased from us.

If you wish to have music whilst on board, you are very welcome to bring your own  player etc. 230v supply available on board.
In common with all our trips, smoking on all parts of the MV Kenavon Venture is not permitted for reasons of the health and safety of passengers and crew .

Please discuss with our booking manager the details of your charter including costs and the date / time.
We start boarding not less than 15 minutes before the set off time. You will be sent a booking form, together with terms & conditions to complete and return. A deposit of £75 is  payable to confirm the booking. The final payment is due 28 days before the charter takes place. Card payments are accepted.
 
Other Types of Charter
Educational - An increasing number of schools and youth organisations are chartering the MV Kenavon Venture. We welcome enquiries from educational establishments and youth groups who look to use the boat as part of a learning situation.

General - The boat is run under the auspices of the Kennet and Avon Canal Trust, which operates boats and canal attractions along the whole length of the canal.
