    We hired a narrowboat for a few days in September. We were greeted by Gary who took us to our boat and took us out for about an hour's practice of sailing, mooring etc before we were allowed to set off on our own. The boat was lovely and overall...

Company information

Welcome to Cambridge Narrowboats. We are a small family business and do everything we can to make sure you have the best holiday possible. Before you set off on your narrowboat holiday, we will give you a full handover, explaining where everything is on the boat, how everything works and practical training covering boat handling, mooring, locks, reversing, turning and boat safety. We will spend as much time with you as you need and only let you go off on your own when you feel you are ready. If you would like even more help, we can accompany you on your cruise as your personal 'chauffer' and spend a whole day or more with you - contact Nicky or Gary to chat about what you need

Property information

New Moon is a stunning 44ft Boutique Narrowboat, perfect for couples or a small family. She is the perfect size to easily moor & navigate - even for complete beginners. She coms fully equipped with central heating, wood burning stove (making her super comfy and cosy), comfortable sofa and a dinette. It also has free WIFI and a smart TV - all you need is food & drink plus a sense of adventure. She has plenty of outside space, a separate cabin with a 6ft wide master bed with an amazing award winning Emma mattress and 100% Egyptian cotton linen. Moored at the Lazy Otter in Streatham, you are only a 2 hour cruise to Ely and 1 full day to Cambridge or St Ives, the only problem is there is too much to choose from. Your holiday route is your choice – head for Cambridge through 2 very easy (electric!) locks or visit Ely, St Ives or the wonderful open space of the Fens or even the famous Lodes. Whatever you choose, will be beautiful and a holiday of a lifetime. We also have another boat - Glyndwr which is larger than New Moon with an extra bedroom and is ideal for families or larger groups.

Neighbourhood information

For weekly or longer breaks, we meet you at The Lazy Otter, for shorter breaks we may be able to move the boat for you beforehand and meet you at Cambridge, Ely or even St Ives. Please note that mooring in Cambridge itself is restricted to a maximum of 4 nights and Ely 2 nights. Please contact us before you book to discuss the options. Once you arrive, we give you the warmest of welcomes, all the training you need and after that, its up to you to get ready to make some amazing memories!
