Experience the charm of our Eastern Inland Waterways.
As a boater, winding along the canals, one of the most frequent questions asked, as one chats to people on the bank or at locks, is “where can I hire a barge?” Of course, seldom is the information to hand, so this is an attempt to rectify that situation.
These boating businesses offer people the opportunity to experience barge life on the canals, from an evening dining on board as the crew navigates through the locks, a day trip with a skipper or self-skippering, to a much longer self-catering stay. The fit-out on each is comfortable with all the facilities one would expect on a canal boat. Each of these ventures has their own website with information on rates and in many cases answers to those frequently asked questions.
