Water Babies and Dollymixture
Our boat Dolly Mixture is lovingly cared for and we work very hard  to ensure 'she' is comfortable, attractive and  mechanically sound and just a little bit 'different' to other hire boats on the canal network.
Water Babies is the oldest Hire Boat company based on the Lancaster Canal, established in 1999 and has its own enviable, private purpose built mooring tucked away in the countryside, so 

Private Moorings

Our moorings are private with secure parking for your car. It has CCTV and lighting. The Mooring also provides secure car parking for our guests.

Should you choose to return to the mooring whilst cruising the canal, our guests are given  the keys to unlock the gate and use the car to go off and explore the beautiful local countryside.

Home from Home

Dolly Mixture really is "Home from Home" and offers spacious and comfortable accommodation, suitable for all ages. She is a 45ft long cruiser stern Narrowboat and has a modern, smooth running beta 38hp diesel engine. Her interior is lined with quality bamboo finished to a high gloss, giving her a light and airy feel. She sleeps up to 4 people, but is probably more suited to an adult couple due to size restraints. 

She also has 240v electricity on board for low powered electrical items, plenty of USB sockets for charging iPads or mobile phones etc.
