50ft Narrowboat for Rent - Hackney, East London,

Lovingly restored 50ft narrowboat on a cruising licence available just in time for summer.

Ever wanted to try life on the river? There is always a beautiful park on your doorstep, a cycle path just a step away and there really is nothing quite like the community spirit of London boat life.

Contract length can be negotiable, but finding the right person or people is really important. Living aboard a narrow boat on a cruising licence means moving the boat every two weeks across a number of great locations (Paddington, Camden, Little Venice, Hackney Wick, Springfield, Tottenham Hale, Victoria Park).

The narrow boat life is really suited to enthusiastic people willing to learn and get a real feel for the boat and all the systems aboard. People with boat experience would be great, but learning the ropes is easy with a little help.
