A River/Canal Widebeam Boat is a type of boat that is built wide and flat to navigate the shallow, winding waterways of rivers and canals. These boats are generally wider than traditional narrow boats, allowing them to accommodate larger living areas and amenities. Often utilised for leisure purposes, these boats have become increasingly popular amongst those wanting to explore the waterways for long periods – with the ability to stay afloat for extended durations. Widebeam boats are typically between 9’6” and 12’6” in width, making them spacious compared to narrow boats and cruisers, giving them the perfect balance between convenience and comfort. They are easy to steer and provide a smooth, comfortable ride.
