FOR HIRE-BOAT TRIPS & CANAL HOLIDAYS

Holiday keepsakes from the cut.

You hired a boat for a week, learned to work a lock by the third one, slept like the dead, came home brown and slightly sunburnt. A print of the boat name (yes, hire-boat names count), the canal you cruised, and the week you spent on it.

Personalised narrowboat hire holiday print sample — Moorhen, Kennet & Avon Canal, 3 July 2024
Holiday keepsake

A print of the trip.

The boat from the hire fleet, the canal you cruised, and a date that captures the week — the day you cast off, the day someone fell in the lock, the day the eldest finally took the tiller without arguing. Three sizes, made to order in the UK.

For the kind of holiday it was

Pick a moment.

Family canal week

Hire boat, four bunks, two adults, two kids. The week the WiFi didn't matter.

Friends on the cut

Eight mates, one stag, four pubs in a single afternoon. Print one for the groom and one for the captain.

Slow-honeymoon

A week on the Llangollen with someone who'd already learned to work a lock. The honeymoon nobody saw coming.

First-time boater

The week someone who said "no, I won't enjoy it" came back and immediately started looking at boats for sale.

A few we get from holiday-makers

Common questions.

It was a hire boat — the name's not really ours
Doesn't matter. The hire boat name is the name of the holiday. Otter from Black Prince, Heron from ABC Boat Hire, Moorhen from Kate Boats — they all become characters in the trip. Type the one you cruised on.
What about a print of the canal route?
Coming soon — vector route prints showing the actual stretch you cruised are on the roadmap. For now type the canal name (or "the Caldon Canal & Llangollen, June 2024") into the route line.
Can it be a thank-you for the boat owner?
Yes — if you holidayed on a friend's narrowboat, a print of the boat name with a date and the canal is a cleaner thank-you than chocolates.
