We had a very enjoyable week on Nimble Nomad. The canal towns were very friendly and welcoming, as were Mark, Mark , and Holly. The Nomad, while very compact, was shipshape and well outfitted. She was easy to handle, comfortable and fuel efficient. We had a few rainy evenings which gave us the opportunity to explore her DVD collection; a few gems in there! Everywhere we went people fell in love with Nomad. Highly recommended!

We quickly became comfortable and relaxed in the Nomad. Traveling through the locks was straightforward and easily accomplished. You will find the lockmasters courteous and a ready source of information if/when needed. The Nomad provides everything necessary to give you a unique, relaxing and most enjoyable economical vacation. The towns along the way are very accommodating and the facilities are clean and well maintained. Pandemic safety precautions are comprehensive and routinely followed by all. Go for it!

Experience with Outboard powered boats of similar size or larger, or sail with aux power is highly recommended. The Nomad handles much like a pontoon boat at 2 - 7 mph, and is subject to wind and current influence. Proficiency at handling a relatively high windage vessel near docks and in lock chambers will be valuable. You will have a chance to demonstrate your boat handling skills during your orientation prior to your departure We do not offer training, so you must be proficient at getting the vessel off the dock, out of the marina, and return to the marina, where you will back into our slip, and re secure the vessel to the satisfaction of the check out skipper.... you will have an opportunity to describe your skills in your booking response message...please be ready to demonstrate the skills you describe in your booking request.
