Benson is ideally located for the upper part of the Thames (excluding the river above Oxford). The Capri was quick to respond to the helm when under way. By comparison to a narrowboat, steering from the enclosed cabin felt ‘cut off’, with limited vision of what was happening at the bow and difficulty communicating with crew at the bow. The Capri (being short in comparison to a much longer narrowboat) quickly veered off course (rather than holding a straight line) when going astern. The saloon was adequate, if a little cramped; I image that it it would be tedious if it was necessary to make up the third berth in the saloon. The sink lacked a draining rack. The stove was again adequate, with two rings on the hob, a grill and an oven. The grill didn’t spread the heat well, but the oven was fine; we cooked a Frey Bentos pie and achieved a crispy pastry crust. The electrical sockets weren’t labelled well. The front cabin is again cramped, but adequate. You will have to climb over your partner if he/she is on the outside and gets to bed first! Far worse than this, however, is that the cabin is prone to condensation in cold weather, with the condensation liable to drip n to the bed. There was adequate cupboard space, providing that you don’t bring your tuxedo and ball gown with you. If the boat had been in good condition, rather than tired and needing refreshing/replacing) it would have been fine for our needs.

Great holiday on the Thames, we’ve certainly got ‘the boating bug’.. There are tense moments when you’re in tight manoeuvres but that’s only a small moment the rest is relaxing & fun

Looking very tired, very shabby. All the seal around bottom of the toilet door is coming away. Few problems starting it in the mornings. The boat itself is a good size for two people. Plenty of storage for a week. Handles really well.
