Grebe Canal Cruises

Grebe Canal Cruises is a long established pleasure boating business located on the Grand Union Canal at the edge of the Chiltern Hills. We operate public canal trips and accept private charter party bookings.

Day hire boats and a marina with boat painting and slipway services are also available. All our trip boats can be chartered for parties, or for morning, afternoon or evening trips.

If you wish we can provide refreshments that can be anything from tea and biscuits to a buffet.

Between Easter and October, at weekends and on some summer weekdays you can join a public trip to Marsworth and back; some of these trips include a cream tea. Teas, drinks and snacks are available on board. You are strongly advised to reserve your seats in advance by telephone, especially at Bank Holidays and on sunny days.

For a day out with your family or friends we have two little boats for self steer that are really easy to drive for your group of up to ten. A day cruise is a splendid way to celebrate a birthday, anniversary or family outing. Bring a picnic and maybe a bottle of wine. The boat has a small kitchen (galley) with running water and a toilet compartment so it is like a home from home.

Our base is a marina with many privately owned narrowboats moored to jetties, a cafe, a shop and toilet building, a slipway used to draw boats out of the water and a large car park; the whole is more than two acres in area.

We are easy to find, being about 8 miles from Aylesbury, Dunstable and Leighton Buzzard. Access to the M1 and M25 motorways is straightforward making us easily accessible to customers from the south coast, Birmingham and London.

There is always something happening at Pitstone Wharf, particularly on sunny summer weekends, so bring the family along and soak in the atmosphere of a working boatyard, or maybe take a ride on one of our public trips.

We look forward to welcoming you.
