Interested in booking a canal boat holiday, but wondering how many berth you would need? Our guide to canal boat berths has you covered. From what a narrowboat berth is to what berth would be suited to your canal boat holiday, learn what the different types of narrowboat berth are now.
What is a canal boat berth?
A berth typically refers to a fixed bunk which is typically used for sleeping. A sleeping berth can be described as a bed or sleeping accommodation on vehicles – including narrowboats – but this can also refer to trains, boats, ships or other modes of transport.
Regarding canal boats, the size of the berth of the boat indicates how many people the boat would accommodate. For example, an up to twelve berth canal boat would have the space for 12 people to stay on – which is typically used for a multi-family boating holiday, or a big celebration.
