Charter Trips

We pride ourselves that we can “tailor” our trips to your special requirements. We have staff who will give specialised talks as you cruise - e.g. on the history or the abundant wildlife on the canal etc.

You may bring your own picnic or celebratory meal. However, if you prefer, we can organise meals to be delivered to the boat prior to departure. There are many public houses and restaurants on the canal and we will be pleased to advise you should you wish to break your journey for a meal. We can provide a diversity of cruises from educational school trips to corporate team building days.
