Hire a Canalboat Ltd and a narrowboat holiday that will allow you to slowwwww right down and escape from the hustle and the bustle and the stress and the strains of modern urban life. Boats – well, theyre different. Narrowboats are different again and are built for the special purpose of cruising the inland canal waterways of Britain. Narrowboats really are a special breed. They are narrow and tight, long and heavy and the narrowboats hold within them all sorts of surprises.The marvelous advantage of narrow boat cruising is that once you have been through their extensive Introduction and Training Programme, you really are masters of your own holiday destiny. As long as you follow the principles of the tuition process presented by the friendly and knowledgeable trainer, the Waterways Code and use your common sense, you will have a great time. This wonderful time on the waterways can be enjoyed at your own pace.

Cruising a narrowboat or simply choosing to remain in the Marina and use the boat as a base means a new experience for many holidaymakers. Your health and safety is paramount and without a proper framework of knowledge at the beginning of the experience, your enjoyment could be seriously compromised. We want to be sure that you get the most out of your valuable and hard earned holiday time. The company takes its responsibilities very seriously indeed in terms of its commitment to guests as well as other users of the canals, including the flora and fauna. Each of our craft is fully licensed and insured and has a regulatory Boat Safety Certificate and Gas certificate.Lifejackets are available for all of you, though we find most of you over the age of 16 years decline. However, they are available and we insist that children aged 16 years or under use them at all times when outside the boat cabins. The Company will not allow any boat to leave its Marina mooring if there are children on board without lifejackets.
