“You don’t need any experience.”

It’s probably the thing we say most before guests set off 🚤

A lot of people arrive in Oxford thinking:
“What if we can’t steer it?”
“What if we get stuck?”
“What if we’ve never done anything like this before?”

But that’s exactly who many of our holidays are for.

Before you leave, we’ll show you everything you need to know, from steering and mooring to life on board day to day.

Then it’s just a case of slowing down and enjoying the journey 🌿

Still deciding what to do for the May Bank Holiday? 🌿🚤

You could be cruising through the countryside, stopping at canal-side pubs, exploring Oxford during the day, then mooring up somewhere peaceful for the evening with friends, family or the dog beside you.

No rushing around. No airports. Just good company, fresh air and a long weekend that actually feels like a break.

We only have a handful of boats remaining for the final May Bank Holiday weekend.

Oxford is famous for its history, colleges and beautiful streets.

But there’s another side to discover.

One trip gives you both:
✨ iconic city moments
✨ quiet canal escapes

No experience needed, just step aboard, let us show you the ropes, then drift along the Oxford canal.

Never been on a canal boat before? 🚤

That’s exactly who many of our holidays are for.

Before you leave Oxford, we take the time to show you everything, how to steer, how to moor, and how life on board works day to day. There’s no rush, and no pressure to figure it out on your own.

You’ll head off with clear route notes, maps, and the confidence to enjoy it from the very start. And if you need anything along the way, we’re always nearby or just a phone call away.

It’s why so many of our guests return to cruise with us again.

🌿 Spring has arrived on the canal.

Mornings feel softer now, light drifting through the windows, birdsong along the towpath, the kettle on as the water gently moves beneath you. ☕

Cruise through fresh green countryside, where everything feels new again.
Stop off at a canal-side pub for a long, lazy lunch in the sunshine. 🍽️

Wander into Oxford in the afternoon, unhurried, just as it should be.
Then ease back onto the water as the evening settles in.

Dinner on board, a glass of wine on deck, and that quiet you only find out here.
🚤 This is the season for slow travel.

And with longer days ahead, many of our summer weeks are already starting to fill.

If you’re thinking about a canal boat holiday this year, now’s the time to book your preferred dates.
