Drifters
Even the name of this short-break
company sounds perfect for a
relaxing getaway over half term.
Drifters specialises in narrow boat
holidays across the UK’s canal
system, offering a range of different
vessels to suit your needs. In fact,
they have over 500 boats leaving
from 40 different boatyards up and
down the country, so you won’t
have to travel too far to get started.
There are over 2,000 miles of
canals and rivers to navigate, and
plenty of circular routes for those
who have never sailed in this way
before – but all advice and training
will be given before you start your
journey, so there is no need to
worry. The narrow boats are fully
equipped to cater to all your needs,
but you’re not expected to stay on
the boat for your entire holiday;
you can hop on and off and enjoy
the activities, attractions, and pubs
and restaurants that each area has
to offer.
