Our Boutique Narrowboat holidays are popular all year round for lots of reasons. Here are our top ten reasons to hire with us…
1. Boutique retreat for two
The ultimate romantic getaway, all year round.
- snug, king-sized bed and deep mattress
- rainfall shower
- mood lighting
- contemporary styling
2. Inspiring scenery
Enjoy the peaceful and unspoiled waterways in the heart of rural England and wake up to a different view every day. A narrowboat holiday is perfect, if you need to slow down for a few days; share the landscape with the wildlife and farm animals – you may see no other humans for a while 🙂
3. All abilities
Full training provided for complete novices as well as experienced boaters. We provide training on handling the boat, as well as teach you how to open locks and navigate the waterways. Each booking has access to our unique online course so that you can do some preparation beforehand, too.
4. Bespoke itineraries
Our central location in Market Harborough, Leicestershire means that there are several routes to choose from. Select one of our suggested itineraries or plan your own.
5. Value
Our mini-breaks and holidays include:
- fuel for power and heating
- car parking

6. Interior design
Our narrowboats are like no other because they are all individually-designed and fit out. Demand for our unique style is so high that we now offer a boat-building service to private clients.
7. Safety

- fully licensed and insured for hire
- hire Boat Safety Certificates
- suitable for novices and experienced boaters
8.Round the clock support
If you get into difficulty at any time, we will be there to talk on the phone or even come out to you.
9. Cosy pubs
All of our itineraries include options to eat out at a restaurant or enjoy a drink or two at a canalside pub. You can moor for the night outside most of them (no taxis necessary!) and enjoy an evening to suit your own taste – choose from a rural English pub, a bistro restaurant or even an elegant waterfront gin bar.
10. Personal touch
Let us know if you have any special requirements or questions and we will do our best!
