HOW TO FIND US

Inland Waterways

Cruising our network of inland waterways is a great holiday, or a way of life. Boats used may be cruising boats that can also be used at sea or narrow boats. This course is for anyone wanting to cruise the UK's inland waterways or Europe's extensive network of lakes, rivers and canals.

This course deals specifically with the requirements of the inland boater, whether they be a narrow boat owner or cruiser enthusiast. It assumes no prior knowledge and so is ideal for the first timer, yet the more seasoned boater will learn plenty of tricks of the trade and tips to make their boating safer and more enjoyable. It is a hands-on course with minimal theory, and is not only an opportunity to learn new skills but also a fun day out! Most courses take place over one day and can be taken either on a centre's boat or your own.
