We're the charity who look after and bring to life 2,000 miles of waterways across England and Wales, because we believe that life is better by water. Our research findings are showing that spending time by water, whether it be your lunchbreak, daily commute or just a weekend stroll, really does make us feel happier and healthier. With ever increasing rates of obesity and stress and declining mental health in the UK, we believe we are uniquely placed to make a significant contribution to improving the wellbeing of millions of people. Many of the waterways we care for run through some of our country’s most deprived and multi-cultural urban communities where access to quality green space is scarce. That’s why, at Canal & River Trust, our passionate team are working with volunteers and communities across England and Wales to transform their canals and rivers into spaces where local people want to spend time and feel better. We know this will bring wellbeing opportunities to millions.

With over 55 years of experience, Le Boat is the leading waterway and river holiday company in Europe and Canada offering the largest selection of destinations and boats, plus no experience is necessary!

Many of our first-time narrow boaters admit to mild trepidation at being in charge of a canal boat for the first time - but there's no need. We provide 45 minutes of nationally accredited tuition prior to your departure. And if you experience any issues along the route, help is always at hand at any of our departure bases.
