Connoisseur backs Environment Agency campaign with boating breaks
Top fishing destinations the Norfolk Broads, Scotland and Ireland look set for
a boost as the Environment Agency begins a campaign to get more people angling.
The UK’s leading inland waterways holiday provider, Connoisseur, which
provides luxury self-drive cruisers on canals, lochs and rivers says many
customers get ‘hooked’ on fishing while cruising the waterways, and is one
of the reasons why UK holiday sales to these popular areas are booming.
Sarah Singleton, marketing manager for Connoisseur, said: “According to the
Environment Agency’s report (published 28th February) fishing has many
benefits and appeals to people of all ages. Fishing as a hobby is proven to be
calming, relaxing and a great boost to self-esteem and well-being.
“Experts and novices alike can add to the relaxation factor by fishing from
onboard their very own self-drive cruiser. You can set your own course and the
holiday is fun for all the family.”
Boat hire prices start from £631 (£158 per person) based on a boat sleeping
four people. For more information call 0870 160 5641 or visit
