Public Canal Cruise (Fleet)
Public Trips from Fox & Hounds, Fleet.
We run public trips from the Fox and Hounds pub in Fleet during the May Late bank holiday weekend. These cruises generally last around 1½ hours, during which the boat will turn, returning to the pub.
Sat 23rd May departing 1.30pm and 3.30pm.
Sun 24th May departing 1.30pm and 3.30pm.
Mon 25th May departing 11am, 1.30pm and 3.30pm
These trips are popular, and to avoid disappointment we suggest you make a booking beforehand. We are limited to 50 passengers on this trip (that includes babes in arms), so cannot guarantee to have space at the last moment.
Booking closes 12 hours before departure.
