Our family business has been operating cruising canal passenger, restaurant and party boats and barges in Manchester for over thirty years. We have two luxury purpose-built barges - EMMELINE PANKHURST and L.S.LOWRY named after famous local people who were born, lived and worked in Manchester and Salford, the very areas we operate in.
The boats can provide the perfect, exclusive and unique venue for your event or special occasion. Whether it be a birthday, anniversary, hen party, reunion, away-day, coach tour or corporate event, our well-equipped boats provide exclusivity whilst sailing along the canals and rivers of Manchester, Salford and Trafford.

Hiring one of our boats provides you with the perfect venue to create your unique and memorable hen party. We offer a three-hour cruise, for up to 50 hens. Create your own playlist to connect to our onboard system or hire one of our DJ's to entertain your hens. Karaoke is also available. We can also provide freshly prepared buffets for you with a varied selection of fresh salads and hot dishes.
At 12 o'clock we set sail from Castlefield when your meal's first course is served and the captain starts his live commentary, giving interesting and historical facts about the canals and landmarks along the route. Then we arrive at Pomona Lock and the boat is lowered onto the Manchester Ship Canal where we cruise to Salford Quays and the upper reaches of the canal whilst you enjoy the main course.
Our vessels provide a unique and relaxed surrounding for your company event. Whether you are entertaining clients, team building or an office party, we can cater for groups of up to 50 people. Our boats allow your guests to relax in an informal surrounding whilst enjoying the sights of Manchester providing a completely unique event.
