We are in the South of France on the longest pound on any French canal with a 108km lock-free round-trip available through the heart of the Minervois wine region and close to the fascinating cities of Carcassonne, Narbonne and Beziers.

Our quality all-steel English canal boats, beautifully maintained, are excellent value for money, at prices from only £86 per person per week.

Friendly, personal attention (English speakers) awaits you at our boatyard.  

We are the only narrowboat operator on the Canal du Midi and also offer unique wide beam steel cruisers to suit the larger crews or those requiring the luxury of more space.

Sorry, but we cannot offer one-way trips.
