Canalboat Holidays

Canalboat Holidays, our name says it all.....

Welcome to Canalboat Holidays, founded in 1965 by Norman & Jenny Clarke, and still the same family run business today.

For a relaxing holiday in the English Countryside with a sense of Adventure and Achievement.

The choice of canalboat and hire company are vital to the success and enjoyment of your holiday, with a family run business you can be assured all the team have a valued interest in the standards of boats and the customer service. We like to share with you the enjoyment that can be had from a canalboat holiday.

The most common remark from customers returning from their first holiday aboard a Weed boat is 'We can't believe how lucky we were choosing to come with you.'

We have a variety of boats which all come fully equipped ranging from 2 to 11 berth canalboats. The prices you see is the cost you pay, with no hidden extras. We make no extra charge for diesel fuel, car parking, bottled gas, bed linen or Colour TV & video, Vat is also included. As we are a 100% direct booking company there is also no agents commission built into our prices. This can make an average saving of between £107 and £141 per week depending on the size of boat and the time of year.

All our boats now have a 240 volt electrical supply. Microwave ovens in addition to the usual cookers (all of which have fiddle rails round to prevent pans sliding off). Electric toasters and proper 240 volt electric hairdryers. All our boats also have oil fired boilers which supplies constant and plentiful hot water (without the need to run the engine as is required on many boats) to all taps and shower plus heating large radiators when needed.

We would always recommend you visit the boatyard of whichever company you choose as the standard of boats varies greatly. Our boats are always available for viewing, in the Summer we recommend you call the office on 01327 340739 to check your chosen boat is in the boatyard.
