Do I need to know anything about boating?
Definitely not! It may sound daunting learning to operate a canal boat, especially if you've never even set foot on one before, but you don't need any previous boating experience whatsoever. Whatever the make of boat, steering is easy, and you'll quickly get the hang of the controls once your canal holiday operator has explained everything to you. There is no driving test to pass either and your hire-boat operator will make sure you're fully confident with the controls before they let you loose on the water.
