🚤 – Don't Try to Do Too Much

One of the biggest mistakes new boaters make is trying to pack too much into their trip.

Canal boating isn't about rushing from A to B—it's about enjoying the journey along the way 💙

Instead of watching the miles tick by, take time to:
🌿 Enjoy the scenery
☕ Stop for a leisurely lunch
🚶 Explore a canalside village
📸 Pause for those unexpected photo opportunities

You might find that your favourite memories come from the places you hadn't planned to stop at!

The waterways move at a different pace, and that's part of their charm. Slow down, relax, and let the adventure unfold naturally.

💬 What's the best unplanned stop you've discovered while out boating?

A Tale of Two Cities for Calcutt Boats Training This Weekend!

While one group of students was mastering the waterways of the Grand Union Canal on their RYA Inland Waterways Helmsman course here at Calcutt, our Widebeam Specialist Gary Morgan was navigating the heart of London, delivering training aboard his largest widebeam yet – an impressive 73ft x 13.5ft vessel based at Limehouse Basin.

👏 Congratulations to our latest successful students:
⚓ Chelsea, Alex & Gavin – developing their helming skills at Calcutt.
⚓ Christian, Sophie & Tony – taking on the unique challenges of London's urban waterways.

It's fantastic to see our bespoke Widebeam Handling & Experience Courses continuing to grow in popularity. Whether you're preparing for your first cruise, looking to build confidence manoeuvring around your marina, or wanting a better understanding of your boat's systems, we're here to help.

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us – we hope to see you back on court again soon!

Do you agree with the rankings?

👇 Comment the number of your favourite biscuit, or tell us what should have made the list.

Widebeam Wednesday!

The sunshine is finally here and boaters everywhere are thinking about getting back out cruising the cut!
But if you own a widebeam, taking the helm can sometimes feel a little daunting… and that’s exactly where Calcutt Boats Training can help.

We are now offering bespoke Widebeam Handling Courses designed to build your confidence, skills and independence — whether you want to:
✅ Venture out cruising
✅ Improve marina manoeuvring
✅ Gain confidence handling your boat
✅ Feel more comfortable reaching services and facilities

And we’re delighted to say our very first dedicated widebeam course has been a fantastic success right here on home waters! 🎉

A huge congratulations to Jason and Jo, who spent the day mastering marina handling before heading out for a cruise towards Braunston and back with our highly experienced widebeam instructor — who also lives aboard a widebeam himself.

Because every owner and boat is different, our training is completely tailored to you and delivered on your own boat, meaning we come to you.

📍 Next stops for training: London and Derbyshire!

So if you’d like to get more enjoyment, confidence and freedom from your widebeam ownership, get in touch — we’d be very happy to help.

🦢🌿 Wildlife Wednesday – Cygnet Update! 🌿🦢

Our newest marina residents are doing well! 💙

We're delighted to report that the cygnets and their proud parents have been spotted swimming around the marina, exploring their surroundings and growing a little more every day.

It's always a special time of year when new wildlife arrives on the waterways, and watching these fluffy youngsters venture out with mum and dad is guaranteed to brighten your day.

If you're visiting Calcutt, keep an eye out for them—but remember to admire from a respectful distance so they can continue to thrive 🦢✨

A fantastic first day at the 2026 Crick Boat Show and another exciting milestone for Calcutt Boats Training!

Working alongside Waterways World and the IWA Sustainable Boating Group, we delivered a series of introductory boating workshops throughout the day within the Boating Marquee.

The sessions covered:
⚓ Boating First Aid
⚙️ Introduction to Diesel Engines
🔋 Alternative Power & Propulsion

The workshops were designed to give both new and prospective boaters a practical insight into key boating skills, while highlighting the benefits of further training and development on the inland waterways.

The response, we are pleased to report, was extremely positive and we are delighted that Crick Boat Show is keen to see the workshops return again next year.

With so many visitors at Crick either new to boating or considering future boat ownership, the workshops certainly struck a chord and generated some great conversations and training throughout the day.

If you are visiting the Crick Boat Show this weekend, please do come and say hello in the Boating Marquee — we would be delighted to chat and help with your boating journey.

📸 Throwback Thursday – Crick Boat Show Edition 🚤

The Crick Boat Show has long been a highlight of the inland waterways calendar 💙

As Britain’s biggest inland waterways festival, it’s always a fantastic celebration of canal life — and Calcutt Boats has proudly been exhibiting there for many years.

We’re delighted to be back again this year on Stand WW91, where we’ll be showcasing our Training Centre and running short taster courses throughout the show.

Thinking about learning to boat? Curious about training? Or just fancy a chat about canal life? We’re always happy to talk about any part of the Calcutt Boats family — so do come and say hello 👋

🌼🐝 Wildlife Wednesday – World Bee Day 🐝🌼

Surrounded by SSSI fields and an abundance of flora and fauna, Calcutt Boats provides the perfect habitat for some very busy (buzzy?) residents 💙

We’re also lucky to have our very own beekeeper! Douglas has been part of the team for 20 years and looks after five colonies here at the marina 🍯(as well as working in the office)

His delicious local honey is available to buy in our chandlery… although it’s currently sold out — it really is that good! 😄

From the waterways to the wildflowers, it’s amazing to see so much nature thriving here at Calcutt 🌿
