Hire Fleet
|
From our boatyard in the heart of the English canal network we operate a fleet of quality narrowboats ranging in size from 2-8 berth.
All our boats are available to hire almost all year round, from 2 days up to 6 months or anything in between. Our location also means we are the perfect starting point for a wide variety of routes, all with their own features. All our boats including the Day boat ‘Rosette’ are self-drive. We give full instruction of how to operate your boat so even if you have not been on a boat before you will find it very easy.

Day Boat

As well as our hire fleet we also have a popular self-drive day boat.
The Oxford Canal in this area offers a great day’s boating for any occasion or gathering of up to 12 people. With a choice of travelling North or South from our base you can enjoy the stunning scenery with the choice of pubs to have lunch or bring along your own picnic. |
