You can hire a boat for the day from many of our bases.
Enjoy a day out boating with family and friends on Britain’s beautiful inland waterways.
Full tuition is included, so if you’re new to narrow boating, you can get the hang of steering, mooring up and working the locks.
All our day boats are equipped with cutlery, crockery and a kettle, and most also have a toilet, cooker and fridge. So you can plan a picnic afloat or stop-off for lunch at a canalside pub along the way.
Boats range in size and can accommodate between eight and 12 people.
We have day hire boats available from the locations shown and listed on the map below.
Prices start at £99 for a day boat for up to 10 people.
