We had a few nights on Citrine with our our teenage boys on the Bradford-on-Avon to Bath route. Having only been on a barge once several years ago I didn't really know what to expect. It was all quite straightforward with a smooth handover and instructions. Although everything is done in slow motion, driving the barge takes concentration! The route is very beautiful.

Citrine is a lovely barge and highly recommended. I think it would be cramped for 6, but good for 4 people.
