Narrowboats Narrowboats are a class of flat-bottomed craft, for use on the narrow canals, that is up to 70 feet in length and with a beam of approximately 6'10" - these specific dimensions allowing them to fit into standard UK canal locks. Despite their extremely narrow beam a full size narrowboat can happily accommodate a large load or extended family for a fortnight's holiday!

A narrowboat, frequently called a barge in error, offers plenty of scope for exploring many of England's historic cities via the narrow canal network aswell as other navigable waterways throughout the UK. We think that they can be an ideal option when it comes to affordable short-term liveaboard, family holidays and business buffets. From basic self drive day-boats to continuous cruising and fully equipped accommodation a narrowboat may be the answer for you or your company's needs. Narrowboats.biz can offer B2B narrowboat hire and charter assistance in North West England in addition to marine specific internet marketing and product promotions.
