We offer luxury canal boat hire to busy couples looking to find time for each other.
A Boutique Narrowboat adventure includes all the elements of a romantic mini-break – magnificent beds, rainfall showers, design-forward interiors – whilst offering a quirkly alternative to holiday cottages.
We will offer as much help as you need to wave you on your way, from teaching you how to operate a narrowboat to suggesting itineraries such as cruising through the famous Foxton Locks or exploring the Wistow Rural Centre & Maze.
With unique interiors, modern tech and well-placed antiques, we hope you will experience our beautiful waterways in boutique hotel style.
Many who choose a luxury Boutique Narrowboat holiday are celebrating a special event. Our barge mini breaks make an idyllic retreat for couples marking a milestone birthday or celebrating a special anniversary.
We also welcome those who are looking for a UK honeymoon with a difference, where romance and seclusion are important, as well as a sense of adventure.
Full training is given on your first afternoon aboard, so no previous experience is necessary and you don’t require a special licence.
