The Jubilee Narrow Boat

Summary:
Experience a stay like never before and come aboard the Jubilee, our charming self-hire narrow boat.

April-September: Self-hire only.
October-March: Moored on-site. Please enquire for self-hire during this time (additional charges may apply).

The Jubilee is designed to be inclusive, accessible and wheelchair-friendly, with a wide on-board aisle, discreet handrails and mobility aids throughout, and a hydraulic lift and ramp at the stern of the boat for wheelchair users.

The Space:
The Jubilee was built bespoke and finished to a high standard, providing a space that is very well-placed for experiencing a unique adventure. Guests can immerse themselves in boat life without the need to compromise on home comforts.

The Jubilee is deceptively spacious and can sleep up to four people across one double bed and one sofa bed, making it ideal for families or small groups of friends seeking something a little different for their next break.

The kitchen comes equipped with a full undercounter fridge, complete with internal freezer compartment, a gas hob and cooker, toaster, kettle, sink and drying area. This well-equipped space will cater to even the most ambitious of chefs.

The boat has a private bathroom on board with a swivel toilet and a large, modern shower.

Large, low-level cabin windows are perfect for watching the world go by whilst enjoying your morning coffee and welcome in an abundance of natural light throughout the day.

The Jubilee provides plenty of opportunity to enjoy those lovely sunny days on the water, with opening hatches along the side of the boat to welcome the outside in, and a large outside decking area at the stern of the boat, perfect for relaxing, socialising and taking in the surrounding views of the canal.

During the self-hire season (April-September), please note that the check-in period is from 3-5pm. If you are planning to arrive after 5pm, we may need to ask that the boat remains moored overnight, ahead of a safety briefing the following morning.

If you are staying with us between October and March and are planning to take the boat out, please get in touch ahead of your booking so that we can arrange your comprehensive handover with the resident skipper (an additional self-hire fee may apply).
