The British canal system is totally unique. No other country has anything quite like it, and it stands alone in offering wonderful opportunities for leisure and relaxation. Although the origin of these canals is purely functional, having grown out of the industrial turmoil of the 18th and 19th centuries, their role as commercial arteries to a manufacturing nation is long gone. The passing years have seen newer, faster, more economical means of transportation, leaving the inland waterways to settle down into a mellow peacefulness. From this has grown a new and no less important role – that of supporting a growing demand for rewarding leisure pursuits and environmental awareness.

Calcutt Boats is a longstanding and well respected boatyard located at the centre of England’s Inland Waterways. When first established some 28 years ago, they started their famous hire fleet and have grown to encompass a full range of canal boat services and facilities. From their chandlery they can provide virtually anything you may need to fit out, enhance or service your boat. However, with their extensive facilities, they can carry out any of this work on your boat for you. They marinise a range of diesel engines for narrowboats and provide full engineering support for both engines and gearboxes. Their base is situated in the middle of the Warwickshire countryside and our marina provides a secure and peaceful location to moor your boat.
