Guide To Bath Canal Boat Co

Wonderful escapism on a terrific boat. Couldn’t fault it and everything was lovely, saw lots of wildlife and forgot about real life for the duration of our holiday. Highly recommend this Company and the location.

Hired a boat for a day for a birthday party. Managed to take it up to Dundas Aqueduct and back, with time to moor up and have a picnic and to stop for a cheeky pint at the George Inn in Bathampton on the way back. Service was fantastic and the boat fully served our needs with adequate kitchen, seating & toilet facilities

We rented the Grand Cru. 55′ long & 10′ wide. It is big for a canal boat, lots of room inside. Light switches are on the ceiling so don’t rent if you are short.

Absolutely brilliant weekend. We hired both Grand Cru and Premier Cru for a weekend trip to Bradford-On-Avon and back. Peter was brilliant, great communication and very helpful. Would love to do it all over again – highly recommended!

Fantastic time on the Grand Cru widebeam for 5 days cruising down the Kennet and Avon canal. The owner, Peter, was really lovely and super helpful – he talked us through everything we needed to know before we set off and joined us for the first 20 minutes to ensure we were comfortable with the boat and steering. We had one minor query during our 5 day trip, but Peter was available on the phone and easily talked us through the minor issue so we were able to quickly sort it ourselves.

There was just 2 of us on the boat, who were new to canal boating and we can’t recommend it enough! We were able to navigate the locks and mooring ourselves. The pictures of the Grand Cru don’t do it justice, very clean and spacious, we would definitely use Bath Canal Boat Company again. Beautiful canal and lovely locals – a fantastic trip!
