We are delighted to be appointed as sole selling agents for this exciting business opportunity which has never been brought to the market for sale before.

This business was established in 2006 and borne from the passion of its Director and Principal for traditional and historically designed canal narrowboats which, in the earlier 20th century were used as a main form of materials and solid fuels transportation throughout England, utilizing the great network of canals that had been built for this very purpose. They threaded themselves across the length and breadth of the land and were used extensively utilizing a form of special craft, designed and developed for this purpose, the Narrowboat.

As the requirement for this form of transportation fell away in favour of the faster and more flexible road haulage solution, the canal network fell in to relative dormancy, until people, in their quest for the peaceful and calming influences of this sedate form of travel, started to renovate and refit out these now redundant narrowboats for pleasure purposes.
