Enjoy a day on the canal with your friends, family or work colleagues. Ideal for family days out, friends, reunions, birthdays, anniversaries, work outings, etc.
Our boats are available to hire during the day or for the evening. They are easy to handle, so no previous experience is necessary.
We pride ourselves in our training and are RYA Inland Waters Helmsman certified. When you arrive we will conduct a safety brief, demonstrate how the boats works, offer everyone in the group buoyancy aids and will offer to come out with you to show you how to steer the boat, turn it around, moor up, tie up and explain the rules of the waterways.
We are in the middle of a 12 mile stretch of canal between locks as the boats are not permitted to travel through the locks.
You could even enjoy a skippered cruise on The Leeds and Liverpool Canal from Heath Charnock near Chorley without having to steer the boat yourselves. Sit back, relax and take in the stunning scenery.
Why not forget the hassle of preparing food before you go and select menus from those listed below, have it made fresh and delivered to the boat all ready and waiting for when you arrive.
A detailed explanation of how to hire a boat from the initial enquiry to the time you get home from your day out can be found by visiting our "Hiring a boat" page on our web site.
Try an experience you won't forget!!
