Booking System - Important Information

Our booking system is designed to save time by automating the booking process and reducing the need for manual labor. It provides a convenient and easy-to-use platform for booking. Additionally, it helps you to keep track of your bookings and payment schedules.

We have moved to an online payment method using a debit or credit card for all payments. Although the vast majority of groups have already adapted these modern methods we do appreciate that some have not and we urge you to have conversations with your managers, leaders and treasurers about this. There are a number of options such as group credit cards and prepayment cards.

When making a booking you will need to decide who the Master (Narrowboat Permit Holder) is for each boat The system will ask for there surname and compass/membership number. There is an option to ask us to provide a master.

A deposit payment by a debit or credit card will be required to complete your booking.

If you have any questions please let us know by sending an email to bookings@jubileeventure.org.uk
