Napton Narrowboats

Napton Narrowboats, Napton Marina, Stockton, Southam, Warwickshire CV47 8HX

We visited Napton Marina, Stockton, Warwickshire, just west of Napton Junction by bridge #109 for our monthly services of pump-out and fuel top-up and found a really cheerful and helpful crew manning a tidy marina. Just reverse in to a pontoon (close to the fuel pump) for either service and call in to the office.

Napton Narrowboats Whilst cruising on the Oxford Canal from Oxford to Coventry through the GUC leg we saw many of Napton Narrowboats' holiday hire fleet. Their boats looked immaculately turned out with many boats having a distinctive cruiser stern with parallel bench seating. Some of the fleet have the 'Targa' sunroof over the saloon, something we might consider in our next narrowboat build.

Napton Narrowboats Napton is an ideal starting point for many holiday cruise rings: The Avon Ring [109m/131l], Thames Ring [252m/175l], Warwickshire Ring [100m/94l], Leicester (GUC) and River Soar Ring [160m/104l].

Napton Narrowboats has a second English base at Autherley Junction on the Shropshire Union Canal giving easy access to Four Counties [110m/94l] and Cheshire [96m/92l] Rings and a sister company in France Minervois Cruisers has two bases; at Meilhan (from 2009 season) on the Canal de Garonne and Le Somail on the Canal du Midi.
