Canal Boatyards, marinas & moorings

Canal boatyards, marinas & moorings on English & Welsh canals & waterways

If you are thinking of buying your own canal boat, and don't intend to 'continously cruise' the canals, you'll need somewhere to moor it and to keep it maintained. There are 'online' moorings along many stretches of canals but the increasing trend is towards mooring off the main line of the canal, in marinas or boatyards. Canal marinas and canal boatyards can provide more security, a range of useful services and less chance of disturbance to your moorings by passing boats.

Although some boatyards concentrate on canal boat servicing and maintenance, many also provide moorings. Both marinas and boat yards frequently offer the same maintenance and repair services and may sell second hand and new canal boats. Wherever possible we have given an email address and indicated the range of facilities available, there's a key to the icons we use on each listing page.
