Do I have to fill up the boat myself?
Your canal holiday operator will ensure that you leave with enough fuel to last you throughout your boating holiday, and some hire fleets will include it within the price. Please be advised though that many canal holiday companies are now charging extra for fuel. You may have to refill during your trip, such as if you take an extended journey, but you will be advised about this at the start of your holiday.
You will also need to fill up with water frequently, which is why there are water taps at regular intervals along the canals and rivers. If you are on a longer cruise you may also need to have your toilet tank pumped out, but most boatyards can do this for you.
