The boats

As much as a canal holiday is about exploring new territory and leaving the everyday at home; most of us still like to have our little luxuries follow us. Which is why most people are hooked after their first time on a canal boat – you literally take them everywhere you go. One minute you could be admiring the picture-perfect views from the tiller of your boat, the next you could be putting your feet up in front of the telly or relaxing in a nice, hot shower.

Canal boats can also be surprisingly spacious - welcoming news for large families! But narrowboats and barges aren\'t the only types of boat available; choose the best boat to suit your needs and your canal holiday.
