Self-drive day-hire
A group of up to eight people can enjoy the freedom of the Kennet and Avon canal with self-drive day-hire on our traditional style 9m (30ft) narrow boat, Cygnet, which is built to a very high specification. Everyone gets a great view, the main passenger area can be opened up to enjoy the fresh air, and there is a toilet on board for your comfort. It is available for hire most of the year.

Cygnet is very easy to steer, with single lever controls and a quiet, modern diesel engine. And of course we’ll give you thorough tuition in handling the boat and operating the locks. Click to view our Self drive narrowboat price list.
