What to expect on your boat hire day

  • Once you’ve decided on one of the day canal boat hire options, you can collect your boat at 9.30am.
  • Then, after check-in, one of the trained engineers will show you around the boat, to ensure you're well versed before they let you begin your day boating adventure.
  • After a day of cruising along the beautiful waterways, you'll head back to the base ready to hand the boat back by 4.30pm.

Explore the beautiful waterways' wildlife

The waterways are teeming with creatures waiting to be discovered and what better way to observe them than from the comfort of a slow cruising narrow boat?
