Our Narrow Boat Fleet
Goosander has all the normal comforts but it is a smaller and older craft and this is reflected in the price. It has a ‘cool box’ type gas fridge, shower and heating. It is ideal if you want to try a boat for the first time and are on a limited budget. Perfect for short breaks.
The other boats in our fleet offer more luxury and more space. Electric refrigerators are standard as well as central heating by radiators. Ideal craft for those wanting a good quality boat for weekly charters as well as short breaks.
