On this cruise you will leave from our berth below the Anderton Boat lift on a picturesque cruise along the River Weaver to our turning point at Acton Bridge before we return to our berth at Anderton Boat Lift.  There will also be real ale on draught available on this cruise from our friends at Hush Brewing Co.

Anderton Boat lift opened in 1875 to transfer narrow boats the 50ft between the River Weaver and the Trent & Mersey Canal - today the traffic is mainly pleasure craft. The area is a scheduled monument and award-winning visitor destination.  Our berth is just below the famous lift, we are too big to actually go on the lift, but you will get a great view of the amazing structure on this cruise. Souvenir guidebooks are available on all our cruises for £5.  Further details on the cruise route can be found Here
