John Pinkerton

Charter trips offer exclusive use of the boat and crew as a venue for that special occasion. Relax, celebrate or meet in pleasant surroundings while enjoying the wonders of the Basingstoke Canal.

Available every day from April through October, apart from published Public and Themed Trips.

Themed trips include entertainment, such as live music, cream teas, kid’s speciality events and other variations. Some trips include food in the price, and our licensed bar is open on all trips. Pre-booking essential.

Our Public trips run at scheduled times each week, and depart from Odiham. These trips last about 2.5 hours.

In 2026 we are bringing John Pinkerton to Fox and Hounds, Fleet, GU51 5NP for 90 minutes trips over the Bank Holiday weekend 22-26 May 2026.

Enjoy the scenic Basingstoke Canal, and learn about its history.
