Grebe Canal Cruises and The Waterside Cafe Pitstone

Introduction

Cruises and Boat Hire on the Grand Union Canal in Bedfordshire.


Grebe Canal Cruises are a long established pleasure boating business located at Pitstone Wharf on the Grand Union Canal on the edge of the Chiltern Hills between Pitstone and Cheddington in Bedfordshire on the border with Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire, operating public canal trips, private charter party bookings and self-steer day hire boats.

The boats can be chartered for parties for morning, afternoon or evening trips. We offer a range of catering options, from tea and biscuits to fish & chips or you can self-cater for your party.  At weekends and on selected other days between Easter and October, you can join a boat trip to Marsworth and back; some of these trips include a cream tea. Teas, drinks and snacks are available on board. You are strongly advised to reserve your seats in advance by telephone.

For a day out with your family or friends we have two little boats for self-steer day hire that are really easy to drive for your group of up to ten. A day cruise is a splendid way to celebrate a birthday, anniversary or family outing. Bring a nice picnic and maybe a bottle of wine. The boat has a small kitchen (galley) with running water and a toilet compartment so it is like a home from home. Alternatively, you can ease your preparation worries and order freshly made sandwiches for your day out from The Waterside Café. Our self steer boats are also be available for evening hire during June and July.

There is always something happening at Pitstone Wharf, particularly on sunny summer weekends, so bring the family along and soak in the atmosphere of a working boatyard, or maybe take a ride on one of our trips and don't forget The Waterside Cafe, one of the most beautifully located cafés on the Grand Union Canal, the perfect place to eat, drink and relax whether you are walking, boating, fishing or cycling. The Waterside Café is open between 10am and 2pm, Fridays to Sundays from 1st November until 1st March and on Wednesdays to Sundays, from 10am until at least 3pm during the rest of the year.

Directions: about 8 miles from Aylesbury, Dunstable and Leighton Buzzard and 3 miles from Tring in Hertfordshire. From the Tring exit on the A41 follow signs to Pitstone or Cheddington.
