Our Narrowboats
We have 3 semi-traditional style narrowboats (images below!). Lavender is 35ft and Albert and Victoria are both 38ft. They are all available for self-drive day hire for up to 10 people from Cowroast Marina Tring. Cruise The Grand Union Canal, North over the Chilterns for Bulbourne and the Grand Junction Arms, and through to Marsworth, or South down to Port of Berkhamsted.
For your comfort during the day, there is a flush toilet, a small gas cooker with four burners, a fridge, hot and cold running water, and a well-equipped galley. There is a radiator to keep the cabin warm on cooler days and a USB phone charger. Prices include Diesel and instruction. (Note: We don't supply pots and pans.)
Looking for a unique gift? Buy a Narrowboat Gift Voucher and treat someone to a relaxing day on the water!
Upon arrival, you'll be given a safety briefing along with Boat and Lock operation instructions. Beginners are most welcome, as full training is given. We also drive boats out of the marina and bring them back in on your return.
