The British Canal Company
With the British Canal Company (BCC), you'll get a real holiday in comfort and style aboard one of our tourist board
inspected narrow boats.
Whether you're looking for a weekend break or a week or more, you'll have the choice of almost 100 boats, from 2 to 12 berth
- ideal for couples, families and friends.
If this is your first time aboard a narrow boat, don't worry. No previous experience is necessary, as we will provide full tuition
at the start of the holiday.
During the day you can cruise leisurely through unspoilt countryside, mooring perhaps at a charming canal-side pub for
lunch. Then, after a lazy afternoon, relax on deck anfd watch the sun go down.
You can start your holiday from one of our four well-located bases to explore over 1500 miles of the superb inland waterways
of England and Wales.
With beautiful wooden interiors, comfortable beds, hot and cold running water, showers, flushing toilets, and, in some cases,
even microwaves and dishwashers. The list of home comforts is endless.
Our free, full colour brochure is packed with ideas to make your holiday afloat an experience you'll never forget. So
remember how
holidays used to be: easy, unhurried, with endless freedom and long lazy days, living life at an altogether more relaxing pace.
A holiday with us will bring you all this and more.
