Hi, license fee can be found on British Waterways website and varies on types of licences. There isn't really any laws like on the road, though they are restrictions - try to make rules.

Insurance companies, Haven Knox Johnson, Collidge & Partners I think. Theirs quite a few that advertise in Waterways World magazine, it's worth buying.

 

Do your research, boat cost, maintenance, are you going to continuous cruise or moor? You may want to see about a mooring and cost. There is alsorts to look at, have you tried boating before?

Regards

Terry
