For Golden Memories             That Will Last For Always

Over the past few years. Black Prince has invested more than any other company in building a fleet of really modern boats. All our boats have water cooled engines, full central heating, airing cupboards, showers or small baths, cookers, fridges, colour tv, radio cassettes and much more - in fact the normal comforts of home. All our boats have Microphor type toilets. They pump to a discreet holding tank and are very hygienic. We are unique in fitting these up-market toilets in any volume. All our boat classes have been inspected by the New Heart of England Tourist Board Quality Scheme and have passed to the 4 Key standard. (Key Ratings run from the lowest I Key to 5 Key). All our boats have fixed berths. The double beds are normally 6' 3" by 4', and the singles 6' 3" by 2'. All have interior sprung mattresses. On the following pages, where the berths are described, the first figure shows the number of fixed berths, the second figure shows the number that can be carried by using lounge areas or hammocks. Thus a QE2 showing 2/4 has a fixed double bed, and two people can be carried in the lounge area.

Our five bases are strategically situated to enable you to explore virtually all the main canals of England and Wales. We have shown sample routes which you may choose to follow, varying from the easy relaxing routes to those requiring more time and effort. But of course, you do not need to follow any of these. The whole point of a canal holiday is the freedom it gives you, freedom to do what you want, when you want, and at the speed you want. With us the choice is endless and the choice is all yours.
