'John Pinkerton' westbound

Would you like to steer a narrowboat? Or work behind the counter and meet different people? We are always looking for new crew members.

Full training is given consisting of a basic training session which covers the safety features of the boat (fire extinguishers, gas and fuel stop cocks, lifebelts etc). This is intended to give you the basic ability to start crewing. You will then crew with experienced crew members who will help you learn as you go along. There is a trained Captain with each crew who takes responsibility for the trip.

If you would like to help in crewing the 'John Pinkerton' please contact the Trip Boat Manager,  He will be very pleased to hear from you!
