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. |
Boatyard
With a team of highly skilled engineers, painters, carpenters and electricians employed at the yard we can carry out any kind of work from minor repairs to major refits, upgrades and new boat builds.
Using our slip-way we are able to carry out any out of water maintenance such as hull blacking, steelwork repairs, stern gear replacement and marine surveys. |
Mobile Repair Services
From our fully equipped mobile workshop we are able to offer a prompt and professional breakdown and repair service covering a wide area of the country.
As well as standard breakdowns and servicing we can do major repairs including welding. No job is too big or too small. We are a registered company, guaranteeing high quality work with an environmentally and safety conscious approach to everything we do. |
Commercial Workboat Hire & Repairs
Keeping canals well maintained is important to us, and we have a fleet of tugs and various general, purpose workboats available for hire with or without operators.
We have full facilities to refurbish and maintain commercial fleets. We are pleased to have Canal & River Trust as one of our customers for whom we carry out reactive repairs, servicing and maintenance work. |
