Forget the crowded restaurants and noisy pubs — this year, take the celebration somewhere unforgettable. Welcome to your private canal cruise party, where the venue floats, the views change, and every moment feels just a little more magical.
Whether it’s a birthday, hen do, anniversary, retirement bash, or just a good old-fashioned get-together, the canals offer a unique and personal way to mark the occasion.
🚤 Why Choose a Canal Cruise for Your Party?
Because it’s different. And because there’s something special about gathering your favorite people on a narrowboat, surrounded by nature and history, with a drink in hand and not a care in the world.
Here’s what makes a private canal cruise perfect for your next event:
- Exclusive hire – The boat is yours, no strangers onboard
- Bring your own vibe – Choose the music, décor, food, and drinks
- Skippered experience – We do the driving, you do the celebrating
- Peaceful pace – Float through scenic landscapes or historic towns
- Flexible options – Choose 2 hours, half a day, or longer
🍹 What to Expect Onboard
Your cruise starts from a picturesque mooring and soon drifts into countryside calm or canal-side charm. The narrowboat becomes your floating venue, complete with:
- Seating for all guests (indoor and/or outdoor)
- Tables for food & drinks
- Onboard toilet
- Fully licensed skipper (no one has to be the designated driver!)
Add-on extras can include:
- Afternoon tea, Fish & Chips, Roast Dinners or Full English Breakfast
- Welcome drinks or BYOB setup
- Decorations for birthdays, hens, baby showers, etc.
- Themed options (retro, picnic, prosecco cruise, etc.)
🎈 Who’s It For?
These cruises are perfect for groups of up to 10–12 people (depending on the boat), and ideal for:
- 🎂 Milestone birthdays
- 💍 Hen parties
- 🍼 Baby showers
- 🎓 Graduations
- 🎄 Festive gatherings
- 💼 Team socials or client hospitality
- ❤️ Micro-weddings or vow renewals
📸 Picture the Day
You and your guests board the boat with a glass of fizz. A banner flutters in the breeze, balloons gently bob, and your playlist sets the mood. As the boat cruises slowly under old stone bridges and along tree-lined canals, you laugh, toast, snap photos — and soak in a setting unlike any other.
This isn’t just a party. It’s an experience.
