£2,497 a year for a 57ft narrowboat
Walk-ashore berths with a pump-out in England
Berths you step off onto a pontoon, quay or bank: no tender, no rowing out to a buoy. Easier for loading, for a dog, and for getting aboard after dark. Sites with a pump-out for holding tanks, so you can empty without cruising to a service point.
