Guide To Canal Cruising Co Ltd

Stopped here for the day to change our prop in dry dock. All I can say is the whole team there is fantastic. Everyone helps everyone. Facilities were great. If you need to do some DIY on your boat this is the place to go!

We rented a boat from Canal Cruising and enjoyed a three-week adventure. Canal Cruising is conveniently located within walking distance of the town’s streets. Of course, supermarkets and pubs are also within walking distance. We took the train from London to Stone, and Caren and Kim were so kind as to pick us up and drop us off at the station.

Before setting sail, Dominic and Kim carefully explained how to maneuver and lock the boat. They even gave us a Canal Companion guidebook and a cute tea towel!

The support after we set sail was also excellent. We accidentally locked the boat indoors the next day, but Karen quickly helped us out. Thank you! 😊

We signed the rental contract more than six months in advance, and the standard cancellation insurance included, so we felt at ease.

The boat we rented, Particia, was old but easy to maneuver, and the kitchen and living room were well-designed, making it a comfortable boat to live in. There were newer boats available, but Patricia was a little less clean due to its age, so we deducted one star.

I definitely recommend it for anyone looking for an adventure!

The most amazing people I have ever met whilst cruising!! Peter has amazing knowledge and always smiles!! His wife-sorry didn’t get her name- made me a lovely coffee and their son Dominic he went way above and beyond to help me!! Amazing and great value I don’t really want to return to them to repair my boat but will always call in on my way past!! So amazing and thank you so much and keep doing what you do-perfection!!

Well equipped boat hired from this company for a week. Handover was comprehensive for our 1st time on a canal boat. Advice from staff was helpful. Really enjoyable holiday on a lovely canal. Staff were really nice and helpful. Would use again.

We have twice hired from this company. Fantastic personal service from a family run business. We had a couple of unforeseen technical issues this time but both were resolved efficiently by ‘Magic Dom’ and the team. Boats not the newest or shiniest but are fully functional, comfortable, well-equipped and represent great value for money compared to other similar hire companies. Just remember your towels (unlike us). Recommended!
