I have a lot of experience on the water but at sea not canal, I've been a carpenter for several years but also transported yachts from A to B for private clients, about 400+ now. I'm just relatively new to warning to do it on the canal network, but have a lot of experience with boats, engines and the workings of them. I just love working with wood so do that full time and skipper yachts for clients when I have a few weeks holiday and get a free holiday moving a boat.

I'm a carpenter and done a lot of work with boats but canal boats is new to me I've done a few jobs lately and have a few to do, but I've just been asked would I move the boats to gain experience so done about 9 boats for free just to gain experience, but once you have the experience it's silly to not use it so I'm just looking in to the options, if it's just insurance I can do that I didn't know if I needed a commercial licence with crt it's not all to clear. But I'll keep plodding away and find it out lol

Ohhhh 100% was free just to help out I'd not charge a penny until I knew all the rules and regs, no Interest in getting in trouble

Hi everyone I'm loving reading through all the blog posts I'm a bit of a magpie when it comes to things like this and I'm getting all the knowledge I can. I'm just wondering if someone was to become a transporter and move boats along the canal other then finding business how would you go about doing it ? What licence is needed etc. The CRT don't seem to fast in responding to emails so thought I'd come to the grape vine. I've moved 3 boats for friends in the last couple weeks and have thoroughly enjoyed it and think this could be a great starting point for me to be on the cut 24/7 Thank you Foxxy 🦊

Hi everyone, glad to be here. I'm a carpenter and looking to branch out in to boats, I have worked as a freelance designer/carpenter for a number of years now and and worked on some lovely projects. I can do custome and bespoke work onboard or at my workshop. At the moment I've been commissioned to make a doors and a kitchen on a wide beam and love the challenge it offers. Anyone after a reliable carpenter for doors, windows, kitchens, hatch covers, beds, wardrobes etc please just message and let's chat. I don't charge for designing and planning just materials and labour. Thank you speak soon Foxxy 🦊
