North of England canal boatyards, marinas & moorings

Northern canal and river marinas and moorings.

The Marinas, boatyards and moorings on the canals and rivers of Northern England provide a range of moorings and services for narrow boats and wider river craft. Cruising areas include the three scenic cross Pennine routes, the Rochdale, Leeds & Liverpool and Huddersfield Narrow Canals. To the west there's the tranquil Lancaster Canal and the broad Yorkshire Navigations and Rivers in the East.

Moorings can cost from about 30p per foot of boat length per week, up to about £1/foot/week, about £700 to over £2000 per year for a forty five foot boat, or £1000 to £3500 a year for a full length (70 foot) boat, short term moorings often cost more. More expensive moorings may offer more facilities, such as showers, washrooms, WiFi, or may be in a more popular area. Marinas and boat yards frequently offer maintenance and repair services and may sell used and new canal boats, some boatyards may concentrate on canal boat servicing and maintenance. Where possible we list facilities offered.
