Welcome to Life Afloat

Our Story

Our story began after a life-changing injury that forced me to slow down and see life differently.

During that time, I bought my first narrowboat. Living on the canals opened my eyes to a way of life I hadn’t experienced before — peaceful mornings, gentle journeys, friendly faces, and the simple beauty of moving at four miles per hour.

The waterways gave me space to heal, reflect, and appreciate the quieter moments. It truly changed my perspective on what matters.

I wanted to share that feeling with others. So I created a hire boat that isn’t just somewhere to stay — it’s a home on the water. Warm, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed, it’s a place where you can slow down, switch off, and experience canal life for yourself.

Whether you’re looking for adventure, rest, or a fresh perspective, I hope your time on board brings you the same peace and beauty it brought me.
