Although our Hemlock range of boats are the same size as the Mints, they offer an additional child’s bunk space, making them ideal for a small family hire.
Hemlocks again provide two distinct cabin areas and separate shower/toilet compartments, with its rear berth providing a small fixed double bed. Forward of this a complete galley provides everything you need to cater for a night onboard, with the front dinette then converting into the second small double bed.
