Perfect for groups of friends or a family get together, a holiday on-board 70ft ‘Martha Ginger’ starts at the market town of Stone. A well-presented boat with a homely feel, the boat sleeps up to 6 people in 3 cabins and has 2 toilets and 2 showers.
A holiday from Stone starts on the Trent and Mersey Canal. Nearby attractions include The Wedgwood Factory, National Trust’s Shugborough Hall and Alton Towers theme park.
A traditional cruiser that has been lovingly restored to a high standard, ‘Rubette’ now has modern touches such as a box thruster and shore power. Best suited to those that have been boating on the canals or River Thames previously. Sleeps 2 people in 1 cabin.

An excellent choice for novices, 47ft ‘Rebecca’ has a fixed double bed, 2 comfortable easy chairs and a TV/DVD player in the saloon. Pets are welcome, and the boat has a cruiser stern so there is plenty of outside space at the back of the boat. Sleeps 2 in 1 cabin.
