Why Couples Love Our Canal Boat Holidays

  • Slow mornings with coffee on the bow, just the two of you.
  • Cosy evenings with blankets, soft lighting and the crackle of the log burner.
  • Peaceful cruising, where the world feels very far away.
  • Quality time, without distractions, in a space designed only for two.

A Perfect Day on the Water

9:00 – Slow Morning Start
Wake up in your king‑size bed, open the back doors and enjoy a peaceful breakfast with the water right outside.

10:30 – Head Out for a Gentle Cruise
Glide along quiet countryside, spot wildlife, chat, relax and enjoy being out in nature together.

12:30 – Lunch Stop
Moor up at a pretty spot — choose a canalside pub or enjoy a picnic along the towpath.

Take a walk, visit a nearby village, browse a shop or simply unwind on board with a book.

5:00 – Find a Calm Evening Mooring
Choose a tranquil stretch of canal to settle for the night and enjoy the peaceful water around you.

Cook something simple, share a drink, put on music and enjoy the quiet of your floating hideaway.

What Our Guests Say

This was our second time on Chalkhill Blue taking the opportunity for a really different winter break in the UK. Just a gorgeous little narrowboat for couples, so well equipped and comfortable; it feels like a cute cottage but with all the fun of being on the water. 

Just returned from a weekend away with Boutique Narrowboats. The experience was second to none, staff were hugely helpful, special thanks to Colin who put us at ease when we first took the boat. Would I recommend? Absolutely, and we will definitely be back for more
