Are You the Next Wandering Duck?
For Sale: Unique Hostel Boat on UK's Canals
Buy / Sell a Hostel
Wandering Duck is a unique, hosted, hands-on multi-day canal boat experience.
We were recently awarded Tourism Experience of the Year at the Manchester Tourism Awards 2014. We've also been awarded a Trip Advisor Award in Excellence 2015.
Wandering Duck runs 2 and 3 day canal boat experiences on England's canals around Manchester, Cheshire & Derbyshire.
The UK's canals are a unique hidden gem with a fantastic community. There are 2000 miles of canals and 35,000 boats. Wandering Duck is the only hostel boat on the canals.
Key Points
- Turnover is £28k and growing every year
- Owners live on the canal boat from March to October whilst running tours
- Save enough money to travel over the winter
- Fantastic lifestyle business
- Great community
- Unique moving hostel boat; the only one we know of in the world!
We are selling this business as it no longer fits in with our life plans. We are looking to move in to a house to start a family.
The business needs to be run by two people but there is no need to employ any other staff. It would suit an adventurous couple who would like to live an outdoors lifestyle, meet people from all over the world, and travel over the winter months.
We can advise on the pros & cons and logistical issues of relocating should you prefer to operate from elsewhere in the UK.
We are open to the option of an all out sale, a franchise or a lease.
