We still have some fantastic boats available for summer holidays! Getaway with family, friends or spend some time with just the two of you exploring our wonderful UK waterways. Have a look at our selection here: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perfect for groups of friends or a family get together, a holiday on-board 70ft \u2018Martha Ginger\u2019 starts at the market town of Stone. A well-presented boat with a homely feel, the boat sleeps up to 6 people in 3 cabins and has 2 toilets and 2 showers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A holiday from Stone starts on the Trent and Mersey Canal. Nearby attractions include The Wedgwood Factory, National Trust’s Shugborough Hall and Alton Towers theme park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A traditional cruiser that has been lovingly restored to a high standard, \u2018Rubette\u2019 now has modern touches such as a box thruster and shore power. Best suited to those that have been boating on the canals or River Thames previously. Sleeps 2 people in 1 cabin.

A holiday on \u2018Rubette\u2019 starts at Benson on the non-tidal stretch of the River Thames between West London and Gloucestershire. You can visit Henley, Pangbourne, Sonning and Oxford by boat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An excellent choice for novices, 47ft \u2018Rebecca\u2019 has a fixed double bed, 2 comfortable easy chairs and a TV\/DVD player in the saloon. Pets are welcome, and the boat has a cruiser stern so there is plenty of outside space at the back of the boat. Sleeps 2 in 1 cabin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018Rebecca\u2019 is based at Warwick on the Grand Union Canal. Local cruising routes have aqueducts, tunnels, bridges, villages and towns such as Shakespeare\u2019s Stratford-upon-Avon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A lovely boat for a couple, \u2018Driftweed\u2019 is a 55ft cruiser stern narrowboat with a super-quiet, low emission engine. The spacious saloon has a TV\/DVD and 240v three pin socket for charging laptops and tablets. Sleeps up to 4 people in 1 cabin and a sofa double.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You start your holiday on \u2018Driftweeed\u2019 at Weedon Bec on the Grand Union Canal. Cruising mostly through countryside and woodland, there\u2019s something for everyone with many traditional pubs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Great for couples or families, 66ft cruiser stern narrowboats \u2018Hazel\u2019 and \u2018Hawthorn\u2019 have a reverse layout with the saloon and galley kitchen at the back of the boat. There are 2 cabins, each with their own shower-room facilities. Sleeps up to 6 in 2 cabins and a sofa double.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Collect your boat from Farncombe on the River Wey, which has pretty riverside villages and towns. In a week, explore the River Thames and visit attractions like Thorpe Park and Windsor Castle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brand new for 2021, \u2018Bluebell\u2019 is a luxury 50ft cruiser stern narrowboat with a light and airy feel. A great choice for couples or a family group with free on-board WiFi. The boat has a log burning stove in the saloon. Sleeps up to 4 people in 1 cabin and a sofa bed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
