Narrowboats

Narrowboats are long, slender boats designed for navigating the narrow canals of the UK. Typically measuring about 6-7 feet wide and up to 70 feet long, they are constructed to fit the tight confines of historic waterways. Originally used for transporting goods during the Industrial Revolution, today they serve mainly as leisure homes or holiday vessels. Their narrow design allows them to pass through narrow locks and confined sections of canal, making them unique vessels well-suited to inland waterway travel and living.
