Fancy a boat/house exchange holiday?

Exchange your house for a canal holiday, swap your narrowboat for a holiday home.

Let your canal boat take you around the world! Or  your house could send you cruising UK canals!

Having a boat on the UK waterways system is an asset that can be taken advantage of in many ways. All around the world there are people looking for different holiday experiences.

Lending your property to unknowns may sound a bit scary but the principle of house exchange is well established and tends to work well, with both sides extending and responding to the mutual trust of allowing another family the privilege of using their home - and often the car as well. So why not a canal boat?

You can follow up any of the opportunities listed below. We present this information as a free service and can make no guarantees about the descriptions or arrangements offered, you must make your own further enquiries and agreements.

If you would like to offer a boat/house holiday exchange just fill in our Listings Request Form. There is no charge!
But we only list holiday exchanges involving a UK canal boat and we do not include free links to other websites!
