HAPPY NEW YEAR
to all shared ownership boat owners - past, present and future

We're making some changes to the website, so some things may look a little different or temporarily not work exactly as they used to.  Everything that was on the site should still be there, though, including the most comprehensive list of available shares that you can find anywhere.

We are unable to return to updating our list of available shares on a daily basis, but we will now show the date when the list was last verified by checking the sites we monitor.  We can't, of course, predict when a share will sell, so you always need to contact the broker or vendor to confirm that the share you're interested in is still available.

Shared ownership continues to be the best value for money for narrowboat holidays and, with around 70 shares currently being advertised, there is still plenty of choice - although less than in pre-covid times. 

There are about 250 shared ownership narrowboats on the waterways, which means that approaching 3,000 families are already enjoying the benefits.  We hope that 2023 brings you even more enjoyment from your boat share.

Please help us keep our information up to date

Please help us update the details of self-managed shared ownership boats.

Keeping the details of self managed boats up to date is difficult because we only get information when shares are offered on one of the monitored sites.

With around half of all shared ownership narrowboats being self-managed, that leaves a big hole in the data.

So if you know anything about any of these boats it would be great to hear from you.  We would particularly like to know where they are currently moored
- and, of course, whether they are still shared ownership boats.

If you click on a boat name in this list, you will open a response form with the details we currently have already entered. Just enter any new or different information and submit the form. Providing you include your email address, you will automatically get an email acknowledgement showing the amended details.

Any boat details you provide may be shared with Philip Duerden, whose (unrelated) boatshare.co.uk site also carries a list of shared ownership boats.
