The tours listed below describe the standard cruises available for group charters of 'Elizabeth of Glamis'. Dayboat hirers are not restricted to these cruises as dayboats are smaller and can turn in most places along the canal. However, the timings may be helpful in planning your day out.
This list of standard cruises is far from exclusive – we will be happy to fit in with your requirements wherever possible. We can pick you up at a different location, although this may incur an additional charge if travelling to different points, as long as we can turn the boat around!
For groups who may want to take in the local history of the canal, we can offer a detailed commentary by a local canal historian @ £20-00/hr
