Canal Cruising Co

Welcome to Canal Cruising Co. Ltd., the boat hire company that has been operating longer than any other on the canals. In fact, well over 50 years. Now the oldest hire company on the canals, the company is still operated by the Wyatt family and our staff. We offer a wealth of experience and give a warm and friendly service, as standard, with special attention for our overseas visitors and novices.

Our picturesque boatyard is in Stone, a small and compact market town that is easily accessible by road and rail, and that is at the centre of the canal network, offering a wide choice of routes.

We have ample open-air parking and we take every precaution to ensure the security and safety of your vehicle. All vehicles are left at the owners' risk. For more information about our canal holidays, please browse our website.

You will find an extensive amount of information here, so most of your planning can be done right from the comfort of your own home. Of course, if you would like to visit our boatyard to take a closer look at the boats or to discuss routes and prices, please feel free to visit us on any Saturday between the hours of 10am and 2pm (during the season).

If a visit is less than convenient, you can always contact us using the online form, for further information.
