How to use our Search Tool

Finding your perfect Cheshire canal boat holiday is easy. Read the guide and play with the examples below to see exactly how our search engine works.

1. Start Date

Click the calendar to select the day you wish to begin your holiday. Please note that our narrowboats depart on specific turnaround days:

  • Mondays & Fridays: For short breaks and standard weekly hires.
  • Saturdays: For weekly hires on our specific Saturday fleet.

Tip: The calendar will automatically grey out unavailable start days (like Sundays or Wednesdays) to help you choose a valid departure date!

2. Duration

Choose how long you want to cruise for. We offer Weekend Breaks (3 nights), Mid-week Breaks (4 nights), or full weekly holidays (7, 10, 14, 21, or 28 nights).

Result: We will search for available boats for a 3-night weekend (Friday to Monday) or a 4-night mid-week break (Monday to Friday).

3. Flexibility

If your holiday dates aren't set in stone, changing this setting from "Exact" is a great way to find more available boats! It expands the search radius around your chosen start date.

Result: We will only show boats departing exactly on June 15th.

4. Pets

Bringing your dog? Let us know how many pets are joining your crew (up to a maximum of 3). Remember, your furry friends are very welcome aboard our fleet!

Result: We will not apply any pet permissions to this booking.

5. Sort By

Once you click search, use this dropdown to organise your results. You can group available boats by Berths (boat size), Price (lowest to highest), Discount, or Date.

Result: We will display the smallest boats first (e.g., 2-berths before 8-berths).
