A Unique London Lifestyle

Imagine waking up surrounded by nature while still being moments from everything London has to offer.
Enjoy peaceful mornings by the water, watch wildlife from your doorstep, explore hidden parts of the city by canal, and experience a slower pace of life without sacrificing the convenience of living in London.
This is far more than simply renting a boat - it's an opportunity to experience one of London's most distinctive lifestyles.

Continuous Cruising

The boat operates under a Continuous Cruising Licence, meaning it does not remain in a permanent marina and instead travels throughout London's canal network.
During your tenancy, you'll have the opportunity to cruise the boat and experience different parts of London's waterways while complying with Canal & River Trust continuous cruising requirements.
To ensure you're confident operating the boat, we'll provide:

- A full day of practical boating tuition
- Hands-on training covering safe boat operation
- Guidance on navigating London's canal system
- Advice on mooring and continuous cruising requirements
- Ongoing support during your transition to boat life

The boat is currently located in East London, and during the tenancy you'll gradually cruise towards West London, following the normal continuous cruising pattern.
No previous boating experience is required.
