Andersen Boats
At Andersen Boats, we offer unforgettable canal boat holidays and narrowboat hire across some of the most scenic waterways in England and North Wales. As a family-run business with over 40 years of experience, we are passionate about providing our guests with unique and memorable canal boating adventures. Proudly awarded “Best in Britain 2014,” we go beyond just selling holidays—we offer an exceptional experience from start to finish.
Based in Middlewich, Cheshire, we provide access to a variety of stunning canal routes, ideal for families, friends, and even pets. Our holidays allow you to experience the perfect blend of adventure, relaxation, and discovery, with the freedom to explore new destinations each day from the comfort of your own floating accommodation. Best of all, our narrowboat holidays are all-inclusive, so there’s no need to worry about hidden costs—what you pay covers everything.
Whether you’re a seasoned boater or trying narrowboating for the first time, we make sure you have everything you need for a smooth and enjoyable trip. Our location next to a set of three locks allows us to offer hands-on training in boat handling, lock operation, and waterway safety, ensuring you’re confident and ready for your journey.
We take pride in the quality of our fleet, building each narrowboat ourselves to guarantee a unique and hassle-free experience. Every boat in our fleet has been independently assessed and awarded a Narrowboat Star Classification by VisitEngland, reflecting the high standards we maintain.
Explore renowned routes such as the Llangollen Canal, the Marple Aqueduct, or the Anderton Lift, and wake up to new sights every day. Choose Andersen Boats for your next canal boat holiday and experience the magic of UK waterways with a trusted family business.
