Thanks for the information. How much does the insurance for a dinghy cost and what does it cover?

I've never boated before but I'm interested in buying a small inflatable dinghy and attaching a 12volt electric outboard motor to it just to buzz up my local canal (Keadby, North Lincolnshire area), visit a couple of pubs along the way, then back down to the car. What are the legalities of doing this on the spur of the moment?

I am interested in buying an inflatable boat and attaching a 12v electric outboard motor to buzz up and down my local canals (in North Lincolnshire), perhaps stopping at a couple of pubs before returning to the car. Do I need a licence for this, as some posts suggest? Others suggest I do not.
