The Boat Co North

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5
"Hired New Dawn for a fortnight, headed north along the Leeds and Liverpool. Beautiful trip, loads of bridges, and locks, so a slower pace. Slept well, that's for sure. John, who fronts the team, was kind and always at the end of a phone when we needed him (nothing serious, just stuff we'd forgotten, as most covered in a training session prior to being released on our own), also he'd send us recommendations for stops and "watering holes" along our way.
The boat was lovely and warm, homely and clean. I would recommend this company, if you don't want to take my word for it, ring them up, you can hear he loves the canals and waterways."

The Calder and Hebble navigation was a key contributor to the area’s economy as well as home to a vibrant community of sometimes misunderstood people

Ladies & Gents, Ambush is listed on the Historic Boats Register and is operated on a not for profit basis. Sadly her upkeep is becoming more costly. The Charity is seeking funding, to ensure Ambush can continue to serve the Boating community, as well as become an educational assest, to keep the heritage of transport by Canal alive and engage a diverse community because .
Any donation to the Charity would enable the future of Ambush to continue and uphold the heritage of the working boats of the L&L Canal and pass on knowlege to further generations.

Been a little while since I've made a pub recommendation post so here you go... The Nelson Inn at Selby, this pub can stop you venturing into the lovely main town, due to being, as far as I can see, pure perfection and closest to the canal 😜. Nice beer, warm welcome, even though it was quite on my visit there was great 'chat'. There's a pool table and a beer garden which was clearly constructed by someone with a talented green finger. Perfect for a 4 night stay destination or on route for a run up the tidal Ouse towards York and Ripon.

Muck in on the locks, take the helm, bow haul or just sit back, relax and wait for a pub stop. The choice is yours.

Bring your own food, drink and have a day out you will remember for the rest of your life.

A fully bespoke experience on Apollo starts at £400 for 4hrs. £600 for 8hrs and £100ph more than that.

When you book a holiday with us remember the advantages of having our base located in a city that is so vibrant and that attracts such events, like this comedy festival at Kirkstall Abbey.

One of my favourite parts of boating is it seems to make you value time and moments a little bit more. Sunrise and sunset are the bookends for the collection of stories that each day will become. Sitting on deck with a glass (preferably a large rioja on a personal note) watching the sunset is just right, regardless of the time of year.

Summer is here apparently. Even if it is intermittent. Boating is great regardless though and the history of the canals is everywhere. And our guests are certainly enjoying it.
