If you fancy a unique canal boat experience, then get in touch with Trafalgar Marine Services who boast their wonderful day boat Phoenix which is available for hire on scenic the Peak Forest Canal. Phoenix is a larger than average day boat. There is a basic kitchen with tea and coffee making facilities. There is around thirty foot of open space at the front of the boat with a clear plastic canvas that can be lowered in bad weather conditions. Take up to twelve passengers for a relaxing day out in the Peak District during the summer months. A gentle cruise down the canal is a wonderful idea for a special occasion and for relaxing and taking in nature and the scenery and Trafalgar Marine Services is a delightful option!
