Free secure parking is on site at the Lazy Otter

Why not moor for your 1st evening in Jesus Green, have a picnic by your boat on the river bank, have dinner on board with a fully equipped kitchen or amble up to see the historical sights of Cambridge which are a stone's throw away & dine in one of it's numerous. You can cruise to St Ives, Ely, Wicken Fen, and The Lodes, it's entirely your choice, route guides will be provided

Before you set off on your narrowboat holiday, we will give you a full handover, explaining where everything is on the boat, how everything works and practical training covering boat handling, mooring, locks, reversing, turning and boat safety.
We will spend as much time with you as you need and only let you go off on your own when you feel you are ready. All our instructors have passed the RYA Helmsmans certificate.

If you would like even more help, we can accompany you on your cruise as your personal 'chauffer' and spend a whole day or more with you - contact Nicky to chat about what you need

Please note that mooring in Cambridge itself is restricted to a maximum of 4 nights

We also have another boat - New Moon which is is smaller than Glyndwr and ideal for couples. Click on my profile photo below to see all the listings I manage
