Floating 1 bed flat / Studio (canal boat narrowboat liveaboard for rent)

Description

Looking for a change of pace and a bit of adventure? Why not try life on the water! Living on a narrowboat isn’t just about saving money—it’s about embracing a unique, peaceful lifestyle. If you love the idea of waking up to gentle ripples and ever-changing scenery, this could be perfect for you.

Our lovely 53ft narrowboat is spacious, well-maintained, and super easy to handle—ideal for solo explorers or a cosy couple. There’s a comfortable double bed, and the dinette converts into a small double bed. While storage is snug (as with all boats), it’s a great fit if you travel light and like to keep things tidy—features include a fridge/freezer, flat screen TV, Unlimited internet, oven/hob. Off-grid living is a breeze with solar power (12v & 230v), and you’ll stay toasty in winter thanks to diesel central heating and a classic stove. Perfect for home workers, you’ll love the unlimited internet and peaceful surroundings.

Never handled a boat before? No worries! We’ll provide full training on everything from steering to safety and light maintenance, so you’ll be cruising the canals with confidence in no time.

On a continuous cruise license, you can set off along the Paddington Arm to discover Northolt, Greenford, Ladbrook Grove, Little Venice, Regent’s Park, Camden Lock, Limehouse, and Hackney Wick, or north towards Tring, Aylesbury, or south towards the charming villages like Berkhamsted, Kings Langley, and Rickmansworth towards Brentford. With excellent transport links always nearby, commuting is doable, especially if you’ve got an e-scooter or bike.

Available immediately, the rent covers all boat costs except for fuel and calor gas. The standard term is one year, but we can discuss alternatives if you need something shorter. You will need a one-month deposit, proof of identification, and a letter of employment reference.
