All our hire boats have flat screen colour TV/DVD Units compatable with games consoles, mains electricity via an inverter (max 1kw), hairdryer, 12v and 240v sockets for charging mobile phones and laptops.

 

We provide a full tank of diesel, gas bottles for cooking and central heating, and a full range of cruising tools. A canal map is provided, and just in case the weather is less than glorious, there are two sets of waterproof clothing and an umbrella on board.

 

Although the canals are not very deep, lifejackets are provided for under 12's, non-swimmers and anyone that requires one.  We give you a safety briefing, and thorough tuition so that you can set off with confidence on your holiday.


Additional Information

Although there are no set routes, we can suggest a cruising route to suit the time available, the number and experience of your crew, and the places you wish to visit.

 

Canal holidays are ideal for walking, fishing, wildlife, photography, visiting country pubs or just relaxing and watching the world drift by.

 

You can choose how much or how little you want to do.  We show you how to work the boat through the locks, and you can select a route with many or just a few locks. The locks do need a certain amount of physical effort, but they are great fun, and offer a chance to meet and chat to other boaters.

Local Information

We are ideally placed for cruising the beautiful Llangollen canal, with its stunning scenery and the amazing Pontcysyllte Aqueduct, now a Unesco World Heritage Site. Alternatively you can travel round the Four Counties Ring, taking you through town and country, passing through Middlewich, Stoke-on-Trent, Stone, Wolverhampton, Market Drayton and Audlem. Another popular route is to visit the historic city of Chester, going on to the Boat Museum at Ellesmere Port.

 

On longer breaks, it is possible to tackle the Cheshire Ring, taking in the Macclesfield canal, Manchester, and the Bridgwater Canal, coming back via Northwich where you can see the Anderton Boat Lift, now fully restored to working order. It is possible to travel via the lift to the River Weaver.  You could also visit Liverpool, or travel down the Staffs and Worcester Canal to Stourport Basin.  There is an endless choice of routes, or combinations of routes to travel.

 

Wherever you choose to go, you can be sure that you will see beautiful scenery, interesting industrial archeology, stunning wildlife, and get to meet other boaters from all over the world.
