Courses cancelled due to Covid19

Here, lockdown has not been wasted.

In the absence of real time training, if you want to improve your steering or simply to get started

"Canal Boat Steering - How To Steer Your Boat" by JANUL, is the book for you.

Suitable for novices, but also for those who would wish to improve, this book takes a somewhat different approach to most boating books.

Other than a brief introduction to matters which directly affect your type of boat and how to get going, here, we concentrate ONLY on steering your boat!

You will find comprehensive information, lessons and exercises on reversing (yes, you can!), turning and general boat handling, including what to do in those scary moments of "trouble".

Publication is planned for the end of August 2020

Why Choose To Do Your Training With Us?

Canal Experience training is dedicated to ensuring that everyone can enjoy time spent on the Inland Waterways safely.

Based on the Southern Grand Union, just South of Rickmansworth and north of Harefield (Uxbridge), you can experience the hidden beauty and nature of our

heritage waterways, merely yards from the motorways, railways and towns.

There are many ways to learn to steer a boat and many people who will offer to teach you.

However, our job is to TEACH and we won't simply show you how to move your boat from A to B.

Canal Experience is an RYA Certified Training Centre and our qualified Instructors hold First Aid certificates so that they can treat your safety as a priority.

We will show you how to steer a boat correctly and effectively, to suit what you need, whether it be as a liveaboard, or purely for leisure.

We make each course bespoke to the participants and will focus on core skills, such as turning, mooring and locks.

So, whatever course you choose, you will be given the best advice for your situation.

If you need to build confidence, then we will work on your existing skills, develop what you know and give you that confidence.

If you are worried or scared, we will coax you through your fears so that you feel confident and competant.

If you just need an refresher or assessment, we will do our best to help improve the skills you already have.

We are more than happy to discuss individual requirements and give the best advice we can, to ensure that your tuition provides

the best results for you and also value for your money. We will not recommend more training than you need.
