My Floating Holiday

Narrowboat 'The Colleen Bawn' hire in Hertfordshire

My Floating Holiday is a British company dedicated to renting a narrowboat for holidays on the UK's historic canals. Its boat, named 'The Colleen Bawn', is moored in Croxley, Hertfordshire, and is offered as floating accommodation for those who wish to cruise at their own pace.

The offering is presented as a slow travel experience: the customer acts as skipper of the boat, allowing them to explore the canals freely and without imposed schedules. The company describes this approach as a way to disconnect from routine and connect with nature.

Boat features and capacity

The boat accommodates a maximum of six people, so it can be used both by couples and by groups of friends or family. According to the website information, it is fully equipped to provide a relaxing stay on board.

Training and support for the skipper

The company includes a training session on the first day: the team welcomes the customers, shows them the boat and explains how it works. Afterwards, they practise passing through one or two locks together before the customers cruise on their own. The team remains available to offer advice and support throughout the trip.

It also offers a link to the Canal and River Trust page with useful information for hire boaters. The company also allows visiting the boat before booking, by appointment, and makes contact via WhatsApp easy.
