Black Prince Chirk Marina

The Magic of the Waterways

There is nothing quite like a narrowboat holiday. Enforced relaxation while drifting along at no more than 4 miles per hour, enforced activity as you come to a flight of locks. Camaraderie when you meet other boaters, friendliness when you tie up at the pub for a drink or a meal. A holiday of contrasts, taken at a slow pace. The variety is endless, city, town, village and country, wide canal, and narrow canal. Every bend in the canal brings forth some new delight, every mile some new feature. You can never see it all, no matter how many times you return. But why worry? Narrowboat holidays are for relaxation, for unwinding from everyday pressures, for doing what you like, when you like.

With us you have the choice of six bases each with their own unique routes to help you discover a little more of this beautiful country of ours.

Canal holidays are fun - whether with family or friends, you can choose an easy relaxing route or a holiday of adventure and exploration. Remember that canal boats have always been homes. In the days before motorways and railways, they were the main method of transport, with whole families living in boats while earning their living. Time moves on and, sadly, commercial boats have all but disappeared, but the heritage has been preserved and enhanced by our modern boats which bring you all the comforts of home. We design and build many styles to suit the differing requirements of our customers.
