Drifters Canal Boats for Hire

Canal Boat interiors and layouts

We offer a variety of canal boat sizes, ranging from boats for two, up to boats for 12 people.  Most have flexible accommodation layouts. For example you can ask for a cabin to be configured as a double or two singles.  Some boats offer standard fittings, while others have luxury extras such as king sized beds, baths and multi-fuel stoves.

We also offer great choice of start points and canal routes – and a good range of prices. View Interactive Map

Drifters canal boats have interiors and layouts that feature:

  • Comfortable beds
  • Shower and flush toilets (many boats have two)
  • Fully fitted kitchens with cooker, fridge – and many boats have a microwave too
  • Comfortable saloon with table
  • Central heating and hot water
  •  TV, DVD player and many have WiFi too
  • Diesel engine with simple controls
