Boat Holidays

You can enjoy a holiday on one of our boats throughout the year.  Our holiday boats are designed with many accessible features making them an inclusive and comfortable environment for many; allowing passengers with a wide variety of mobility difficulties and health conditions to enjoy a holiday on the waterways.

Self Drive Holidays on Jubilee


Jubilee is our brand new 60ft self-hire narrowboat; sleeping up to six people, she is ideal for families and groups and is wheelchair friendly with a stern lift.

She is suitable for those wanting the freedom to travel independently and meander the canals at their own leisure. Ideally suited for those with some skippering experience; we ensure there is an adequate hand over with our resident skipper on your first day who will guide you through a lock and show you where everything is on the boat and won't leave you until you feel confident to navigate on your own.

Jubilee is available for holidays from Friday through to Friday. 

You are welcome to arrange a visit to our base if you'd like to ensure Jubilee is suitable for your requirements. 

If you have any queries at all, please do not hesitate to contact the office.

Jubilee is now available for booking - bookings being taken for 2023!
