All About Reverse Layout Narrowboats

Let’s talk about the internal layout of a narrowboat, specifically what to expect on board and where the ‘rooms’ are located. Narrowboats have a corridor that usually runs the length of the boat and also a galley kitchen, bed(s) in cabins, and toilet/washroom facilities.

Most narrowboats available for holiday hire have an internal layout with a cabin at the back of the boat and a social area at the front. In addition to these more traditional internal layouts, we also offer boats with a ‘reverse’ layout. Reverse layout boats have a social area at the back and usually a cabin at the front. This is great for socialising during the day as you can chat together at the back of the boat whilst you’re cruising.
