About

Narrowboat Crew aims to match up boat owners and crew for their mutual benefit.

Foreword

• The canals and rivers of England, Scotland and Wales meander through over 2000 miles through some of the finest, greenest countryside you can imagine.
• Many people enjoy using narrowboats on our extensive network of inland waterways.
• Unfortunately we all get older and many people find it hard to find the time or energy to operate a narrowboat on their own.
• For this reason, after many years living and working with narrowboats, I have set up this service to help people find trustworthy crew and, of course, help people who want to work on the canals to do so.
