My Newt

Day Boat

Probably ...... the smallest narrowboat in the world !

This is a lovely boat which turns heads wherever it goes. As the name implies she is TINY at just 23 feet long - but Dr Who eat your heart out. She has a well equipped galley with small fridge, a top of the range Nelson Spinflo cooker, a toilet, shower, two seater dinette, blown air heating system, two bunks which can be converted to a double, and a spacious cockpit area.

My Newt is a joy to handle and moor up as it will fit into spaces which larger boats cannot.

For easy to handle, carefree, comfortable cruising for upto four people, this is the ideal boat to suit novice and experienced couples alike. Don’t worry about steering it's easy; you will be given full instruction and handling tuition on arrival. On the way out of the Somerset Coal Canal , we will escort you onboard before handing over to you at the Dundas aqueduct.

The boat hire includes diesel, gas and water.

The boat currently operates from our Brassknocker base where there is a park & display nearby and The Angelfish Restaurant should you want any last minute refreshments, ice creams or food. On a full day hire, there is ample time to travel across both aqueducts travelling in an easterly direction, stopping at either Avoncliff or Bradford on Avon where there are places to visit and eat. Please note, you must leave at least 2.5 / 3 hours time for you to travel back to the base. Alternatively, you may wish to travel in a westerly direction towards Bath & Bathhampton where you will find cafe / pubs to stop for lunch. Please note a pre-authorisation deposit is required using a valid debit / credit card.
