From 1st November 2017 to 11th March 2018 our 57ft/17.37m boat 'Gloria' will be available for a continuous static hire. The boat is much loved and well maintained as it is normally a holiday hire boat for the small, privately owned StarNarrowboatHolidays.co.uk The boat will be based at the Bridgewater marina (our base and 9 miles by road from Manchester city centre). Have you ever dreamed of living on the water for a while? Would you like to try living on a boat before you decide whether to buy your own? Or do you just fancy spending 18 weeks living on a houseboat? The boat is set up for comfortable winter living, it has central heating and a solid fuel stove. There is outdoor space near the boat and a car park at the marina.

This static hire is only available for the full 18 weeks. This will be the third year running that we have offered static hire throughout the winter months, our 2016 to 2017 hirer liked boat life so much she now has her own narrowboat at the same marina as us. If you are interested in the hire please get in touch the price is 895pcm.

Thanks
Hester
