We do not charge
for using this service.

In twenty years of canal boating we think this was
the most comfortable / well appointed boat we have
had and also the easiest to drive by far! Staff were
super at both arrival and departure.

Green Canal Boat Holidays

Our cheap narrowboat hire breaks offer you an environmentally friendly alternative to flying. You can have a great holiday at an affordable price that doesn't have a huge Carbon footprint.

Did you know that even a short haul flight produces the equivalent emissions of 3 months of driving your car? For the growing numbers of us who are concerned about pollution and global warming, an exciting holiday alternative within Britain can help us cut down on our foreign escapades... helping us to stay green!

Our choice of marinas dotted across the country are never too far from your front door. Quickly and easily you'll find yourself immersed in a totally different British cultural experience.

With a cheap narrowboat hire holiday, you can relax in the Great British outdoors, get closer to nature; and delve into the folk art and traditions of the industrial revolution. Our narrowboats run on diesel and are nice and compact; They burn so much less than your car would as you meander down the nation's picturesque waterways. The rest of the boat's power is simply generated by the running of the engine.

A cheap narrowboat hire holiday will save you cash and will have considerably less impact on the environment! Perfect for the environmentally aware holidaymaker. Green boating holidays are definitely the future for all of us. Get on board now.
