We have finally arrived at our new base which is at Honeystreet Wharf in the stunning surrounding hills of Pewsey vale in beautiful Wiltshire. The location is spectacular and the site offers our guests fantastic facilities which now reflects the high standard of our boats.
The local area in itself is an amazing place to come and visit, from the picturesque towns of Marlborough and Avebury to the spectacular sights of stone hendge. The location of our canal boat holidays could not be better, and what’s more, we are located smack bang in the middle of the Kennet and Avon canal.
At Honeystreet Wharf we also provide wharf services to canal boaters and the local community. Previously know as Gibsons Wharf Services, the wharf will still be the same as before but will will just be adding to the facilities and services. We will shortly be opening a well stocked chandlery and shop for canal boaters, locals and visitors.

Moonshadow, our most luxurious holiday boat yet will be available from the end of 2011. To book one of our luxury hire boats please contact us via the contact page on the main website.
