You do not need a driving licence for a narrowboat and the boat itself is licenced by it’s owner for CRT waterways. There are a few waterways outside their jurisdiction for which you will need to purchase an additional licence as you enter them, such as the Scottish Canals, Rivers Avon, Thames and Wey. Our partners can provide details when you arrive to pick up your boat.
The maximum number of people allowed on board is restricted to the number of berths.
