Public Trips

From Easter until the end of October you can join a 1½ hours trip to Marsworth and back.

From Pitstone Wharf the boat heads south passing another marina and a local boat club before ascending through two locks. After the two locks the boat continues south passing a back pumping station and a five hundred year old thatched building. Marsworth's old village wharf - still in use by British Waterways - is soon reached and the boat turns in the entrance to the Aylesbury arm of the canal to return via the same route to Pitstone Wharf.

Although reservations are not essential, we strongly advise that you reserve your seat(s) in advance, by telephoning +44 (0) 1296 661920 beforehand.

At Christmas you can join a ¾ hour themed trip that follows the same route as our 1½ hours cruise as far as the first lock. There our boat turns, without entering the lock, and returns to Pitstone Wharf.

Children receive a present from Father Christmas and Adults receive a glass of punch and a mince pie on our Santa cruises.

Reservations are compulsory for these themed cruises. Please telephone +44 (0) 1296 661920 to reserve your seats.

Drinks and snacks are available on all our public trips.

Reserved tickets must be collected fifteen minutes before departure time of the cruise.

Passengers cannot alight from the boat during these cruises.

We very much regret that the well deck design of our passenger boats makes them unsuitable for the accommodation of wheelchair bound passengers on our public trips. This is due to space constraints and for reasons of safety and access.

Cruise durations are liable to variation at busy times.

A 1½ hours trip will depart at 2.30pm on each of the shaded dates in the calendar below. Additional trips may operate on some days.

Please note that there are currently no cruises planned for November.
