Thanks Ian.

Thanks for that. Have you got a link for Hire fleet owners who do sponsorship?

🍺🍷 Thank you Alan. Gosh, what knowledgeable people you are on here! I'll check about the mooring and have already put feelers out for investment in a hire fleet narrowboat.

If you click the link, you'll get all the details.

Thanks Alan. As I mentioned, the mooring I'm looking at has those facilities and I'm aware of the yearly costs. I'm also looking at the investment possibilities. I'm not intending to rush into this, so at the moment, it's just a fact finding mission.

So I've found £40K down the side of the settee, giving a budget of £70K. Would that buy a narrowboat that we could rent out when we're not using it? If so, any advice you could give would be welcome. I've got my eye on a mooring and am aware of the yearly overheads. Thanks again. Chris Thanks Malp, that's really helpful. 🙂

Thanks everyone.😊 I kind of suspected that my budget was low. However, I like this a lot! Boats for sale UK, boats for sale, used boat sales, Narrow Boats For Sale Rare opportunity to own a unique boat - Apollo Duck

Hello there! I'm retired and am looking to do something better with my savings than have them earning a meagre interest rate in an account. I had been looking at static caravans, as a holiday home and to rent out, but the fees seem ridiculously high. I then thought about the canal holiday I had years ago and how peaceful it was, so I'm now thinking about getting a narrowboat in Northwest England to use and to rent out. I'm aware of the certificates it'll need and the annual cost of running a narrowboat, but as I'm completely new to this, I'm aware that there's LOADS that I don't know. So...... 1. Is it a viable idea? 2. If I had someone (Hoeseasons?) managing the rentals, cleaning etc, what would they charge and are there any rules about the boat's age, size etc? 3. I'm not looking for a large boat and have a budget of £30K. Would it be better to buy a project boat cheaply and pay for refitting it or get a better boat that needs less work? 4. I'll pay for full hull and engine surveys. Can you recommend a decent surveyor? Thanks in advance for your replies. Chris
