Spring isn't far away now! Makes days on the water that bit more enjoyable. On our trips you have the opportunity to travel North through Hemel Hemsptead or South towards Watford #Charity #BoatHire #Spring #Lifesbetterbywater #WaterwaysWednesday #GrandUnionCanal #UKCanals

Winter has a special kind of magic along the Grand Union Canal ❄️ Crisp air, quiet towpaths, and the gentle ripple of passing boats. The perfect reminder to slow down and soak it all in 💙 #waterwayswednesday #Charity #Boathire #Winter #ukcanals

Our beautiful boat Close Shave has finally made it to Kates Boats after 20 days on the water! It should have taken our lovely volunteers 8 days but in the end took 20 due to the bad weather! Our volunteers are amazing!! 💙❄️💦 #WaterwaysWednesday #Ukcanals #Volunteers #Boathire #Charity #Widebeam

Crisp bright winter days on the canal can be just as enjoyable as warm sunny ones. Our centrally heated cabins will be cosy, warm for your comfort. Our #Winter cruises run from November through to February.

This week is #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek. Our beautiful waterways are perfect for walks or bike rides along the towpaths, soaking up the wildlife and beautiful countryside. Being active is good for our mental health and happiness #WaterwaysWednesday #WellnessWednesday #Charity #UKCanals
