Crusader Community Boating specialises in boat trips which enable everyone, regardless of age, physical or mental ability, to experience the fun and beauty of the River Nene in Northamptonshire on our boat Community Spirit. The service is run by fully trained crew volunteers and funded through hire charges and voluntary donations. Subsidised trips are available for eligible groups.

Community Spirit: Up to 35 passengers. Fully accessible with a lift, fully accessible toilet, tea and coffee making facilities and a fully enclosed cabin with audio-visual facilities.

For the majority of our passengers, the ability to come on our specially equipped boats, along with their carer, provides them with social and leisure opportunities which they might otherwise be unable to access. We hope this contributes in some small way to their social welfare, countering feelings of isolation many often experience.

​Private Charter Trips: These can also be arranged for anyone looking for an interesting day out for a party of up to 35 people. These trips help cover our overhead costs.

PLEASE NOTE

Our trip season will restart mid April 2027 and the online booking system will open mid January.
