The Kennet Horse Boat Company is a small, family-run business that operates traditional canal barges for public boat trips and private charters. The company was established in 1970 and has been run by the Butler family since 1980. The business is now owned and run hands-on by the second generation of the family, Stephen Butler and his wife Charlotte, who took over from Stephen’s parents, Bob and Jenny, in 2004.

They work hard to keep the horse-drawn barge tradition alive, and on every trip with them, you can be assured of a friendly welcome and attentive professional service from Charlotte, Steve and their helpful staff. They all love their horses and thoroughly enjoy enabling their customers to experience the magic of drifting sedately along the Kennet and Avon canal in a horse-drawn barge, or exploring the canal in their self-drive motor barge.
