Relaxing Narrowboat Holidays - Perfect for both Beginners & Returning Boaters

Whether it's your first time on a narrowboat or you're returning for another break, our friendly, experienced team will help you choose the right boat and route for a stress-free holiday.

No Experience required - We'll guide you every step of the way

If you've never hired a canal boat before, you'll be surprised how easy it is. At the start of your holiday one of our experienced instructors will personally show you how everything works on your boat, take you out on the water and guide you through your first lock.

Our aim is simple: to help you relax and enjoy your time aboard one of our 4 or 5 star narrow boats.
