Founded in 2002, we are proud to say that Carefree Cruising is the oldest and longest established of the major shared ownership schemes. We currently have 19 syndicates under management, all of which have been managed by us from their start. Our experience and approach set us out as being a cut above the rest.

Owning a share in one of our luxurious narrowboats will give you holidays every year for life at a fraction of the cost of hiring. In actual fact, it is near impossible to find hire boats that are equivalent to what we offer, as our boats include a bow thruster, a washing machine/tumble drier and a dishwasher as standard. Not to mention the superb quality hull that attracts admiring looks and comments at every lock!

And when you consider that if you ever decide to hang up your windlass for good, you can sell your share and get a substantial amount of your purchase monies back, this is by far the most sensible and economical way to get afloat!
