Find your perfect wide beam boat at Collingwood Boats

Choosing the perfect boat can be a tough decision to make, but the most important thing to remember is to select a boat that is best suited to your lifestyle.

This will help you determine whether a narrowboat is the best option or a wide beam boat – each will offer you a different living experience overall. As you will be spending a lot of time on the boat, you will need to consider purchasing a boat that ticks all the boxes.

At Collingwood Boats we are experts in designing a bespoke boat tailored to your needs and requirement. We want to give you the best onboard experience, which is why we work closely with you to design and build a boat that is just right for you.

Our sizes range from 30ft narrow-beam leisure crafts to our flagship wide beam range which comes in at 70ft. Depending on your canal boating requirements, we can advise the best boat for your needs.
