Canal Holidays and cruising is designed for every member of the family. Canalboat hire (rental) brings the English countryside alive with the excitement and adventures of boating. English canals, especially the Grand Union Canal offer a real change from every day routine and bring one in touch with a new unexpected England remote from main roads and railways, free from crowded motor coaches and noisy trippers, peaceful, pleasant and unspoilt.
Over the past 50 years many thousands of customers have found the fastest way of slowing down is to have a relaxing holiday on a Wyvern Shipping Co. Ltd. canal boat. Indeed last year in excess of 70% of our trade came from previous clients and their recommendations. Even if you have no previous canal boat hire experience you will be surprised just how easy it is to become a confident skipper of your canal boat. (Some people call them 'barges', 'narrowboat' or 'charterboats'.)
All our narrowboats are purpose built for easy and responsive handling and if you have any doubts over any aspect of waterway cruising we will do all we can to assist. All our hirers are taken for a free tuition cruise by one of our experienced pilots at the start of your canal boat holiday and shown through a lock. Instruction continues until you are confident of how to handle the boat. This will ensure a most enjoyable and memorable canal boat holiday.
Our canalside holiday cottage, Waterside Cottage sleeping up to 11people is available all year. Take a 'Visual Tour'!
