Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE VESSEL

Cuddy cabin comfort on a nimble 16‑ft hull

A 16‑foot (4.88m) hull with a small cuddy cabin gives shelter and a sense of presence on the water while a modest 6hp engine and tiller steering keep handling straightforward for small crews.

THE DRIVE

Self‑drive simplicity

This is a self‑drive hire designed for easy, independent outings—ideal for crews who want direct control without a large powerplant or complex systems.

THE CAPACITY

Small groups, big memories

Licensed to carry up to five people, the boat is best for intimate groups who value shared time on the water rather than long‑range speed or heavy loads.

What the day feels like

What the day feels like

You board at The Quay in Dittisham, step into the cuddy cabin if the weather asks for it, and set off under tiller control and the steady pulse of a 6hp outboard—two hours or a whole day of self‑driven exploration that keeps things compact, social, and manageable.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this rental suits—and who should look elsewhere.

1
Small groups & couplesIdeal: up to five people who want a close, social experience on a compact craft; the capacity and layout favor small parties.
2
Families with childrenGood fit for families provided the combined party weight does not exceed 375 kg and adults supervise younger passengers during a self‑drive outing.
3
Novice boatersAccessible for newcomers: modest engine power and tiller steering make the boat manageable, but renters should be comfortable with self‑drive responsibility.
4
Large parties or heavy loadsNot ideal: the boat is licensed for a maximum of five people with a combined weight limit, so larger groups and heavy equipment won’t be accommodated.
