Boat Trips at Mercia Marina

BOAT TRIPS

Mercia Swan Canal Boat Trips.

Step aboard the Mercia Swan and enjoy a relaxing journey through the heart of Derbyshire’s waterways. Based right here at Mercia Marina — Europe’s largest inland canalboat marina — the boat trips offer a wonderful way to explore the Trent & Mersey Canal.

 

Choose from a 45 or 75 minute cruise or book a private charter for a more personal experience. Each trip offers peaceful views of the countryside and a chance to see local wildlife and life on the water from a new perspective.

 

Boat Street run regular return services from Mercia Marina to the nearby village of Willington, or you can sit back and enjoy the longer route towards Stenson.

 

Tickets are available directly from the boat 15 minutes before departure (subject to availability). To guarantee your place book online at www.boat.st/book-online, email trips@boat.st, or call 07763 907639.
