Do I need a license to operate a canal boat?
No, you will not need a license and you will be given all the training you need to get started.
Do I need insurance?
The boat and contents are fully insured, but we do have an excess on our insurance so we recommend that you take out our £45.00 damage waiver, then if you do have an accident you do not have to worry. The only thing that is not insured by us are (a) your car which is probably protected under your motor policy and (b) your personal possessions which are also probably covered under your house contents insurance but please check your own policies carefully.
Where do I find canal maps?
We sell canal maps and guides at our marinas (subject to availability).
You can also buy online via our online bookstore (opens in new window) if you wish to plan ahead.
