Add your businessBoat hire and experiences on the canals
Hiring a narrowboat or canal boat is one of the best ways to experience the inland waterways. Most hire companies offer boats for anything from a few hours to a couple of weeks. You'll get a full handover covering how to steer, work locks, and handle the boat safely before you set off.
Day boats are perfect for a taster experience, while a week-long hire lets you properly settle into the rhythm of canal life. Popular routes include the Llangollen Canal, the Kennet & Avon, and the Four Counties Ring. Book early for school holidays, as the best boats go quickly.
Beyond traditional hire, some operators offer skippered trips, canal-themed experiences, and even floating restaurant evenings. It's a growing part of the waterways scene and a wonderful way to share the canals with friends and family who might not be confident handling a boat themselves.
