Drifters runs canal boat holiday press trips for journalists with national newspaper or magazine commissions. And for influencers with a high number of followers.  These are usually short breaks (three-night weekends or four-night mid-week breaks) on boats for up to four people.

Journalists/influencers are usually asked for pay for their fuel, circa £10-15 per day.

Drifters also runs day boat press trips for a wider cross-section of the media.

There are over 35,000 canal boats on our inland waterways, more than at the time of the Industrial Revolution. Each year the canal boat hire industry is worth over £33million to the national economy.

Every year around 352,000 people go canal boating in the UK and around 100,000 holiday boat trips are taken.

There are around 1,000 holiday hire boats in the UK and we operate over 500 of these boats.
