Serenity is our flagship luxury widebeam hire boat that is fully furnished, loaded with top-notch equipment, and has a stylish and contemporary layout that will comfortably sleep 4 adults in unrivalled luxury.

Don’t cramp your style by choosing a traditional narrowboat holiday! Try something different and hire our luxury widebeam canal boat for a truly unique and unforgettable experience whilst cruising and enjoying the tranquil surroundings of the Grand Union Canal. Canal boat holidays in luxury and style!

Upon entering the boat from the rear deck (stern or aft in boatman lingo), you will step down into the Galley which features solid oak flooring, black granite worktops and plentiful cupboard space for all your groceries.

Not only does the galley have all the usual stuff you would expect to find in a well equipped Kitchen (full sized gas cooker and hob, microwave, fridge/freezer and a good size sink), we have even found it possible to sneak in a wine cooler.

The Galley has been fully equipped with quality products and accessories from well established brands that will not let you down (Denby, Le Creuset, Mermaid, Tefal). See our Inventory for a full list of what you will find stowed away in all those cupboards!

We specifically chose a reverse layout boat (Galley positioned to the rear) as it offers the most sociable layout of all the standard narrowboat designs. Adjoined with the Saloon, it provides a huge open entertaining space that is in close proximity to the rear deck where you will spend most of your holiday.

As you pass through the Galley, you will enter the Saloon.

The Saloon (Lounge) is light, spacious and airy with solid oak flooring throughout and finished attractively with cream and oak panelling to the lower cabin sides and ceiling.

A folding dining table and chairs has been neatly crafted into the side of the cabin to provide a formal dining area for two people. The kitchen worktop extends elegantly into the Saloon to form a versatile breakfast bar with two bar stools below for relaxed or additional dining space.

Not only does the comfy chaise corner sofa turn into a large double bed to make our boat suitable for accommodating 4 people, it also doubles up nicely as a day bed for snuggling on whilst watching a movie on the built-in 32” TV.

To keep you entertained, we have installed a DVD player and DAB Radio (with CD player, iPod dock and USB port) for you to enjoy your own music. To ensure you can keep in touch we have installed mobile Wifi (4G when available). Combine this with the low-level ambient lighting and cosy warmth of the contemporary diesel burning stove, then you will soon create a truly relaxed atmosphere that becomes a world of your own!

Upon exiting the Saloon, the door to the left of the passage leads you into the Bathroom.

Enter the bathroom via the frosted glass door and you will be greeted with a full size shower, low-level flushing WC, compact wash basin and heated towel rail.

Cabinets around the bathroom offer plenty of storage for your toiletries, and are topped in beautiful black granite.

Now if that doesn’t sound luxurious enough then we hope you will be delighted to find Molton Brown next to the wash basin, Christy bath and hand towels neatly stacked on the shelves, and a cupboard well stocked with complimentary toilet roll!

Exit the Bathroom and continue to the end of the passage where you will find the Bedroom.

As you enter the bedroom through the frosted glass door, a fixed double bed becomes the focal point of the room. The bed has been dressed to impress with stylish and contemporary bed linen over a non-allergenic duvet and pillows.

You will find ample storage for your clothes in the fitted cupboards, drawers and mirrored wardrobes that neatly border the room.

A 23” flat screen TV with built-in DVD player is perfectly placed for your viewing pleasure at the far end of the bed. Of course, a bedroom wouldn't be complete without an alarm clock sitting proudly on the bedside table.

From the Bedroom, double doors lead you outside to the Foredeck.

The exterior of the boat has been finished with a striking combination of Green and Cream which is enhanced by the traditional hand-painted signwriting courtesy of Meg Gregory.

The foredeck (bow) has two large storage lockers providing useful space for storing bulky items such as crates of beer, or they can simply be used for outside seating.

The aft deck (stern) is where you operate the boat, but it is also an ideal space for entertaining so we have supplied a small table and chairs for a little al fresco dining. Either side of the doors leading into the Galley are storage lockers which double up nicely as additional seating.

We understand that being in charge of a big wide vessel such as Serenity can seem daunting so we have fitted a cruising step to provide you with better visibility of the route ahead. There is also a good size tiller which makes steering the boat a breeze!

A clever rack has been fitted to the back of the boat allowing you to bring along your bicycles (max 2).
