Kenavon Venture

The Kenavon Venture is a purpose built public trip boat. lt is 60 feet long and 10 feet wide and has spacious seating for up to 45 passengers. lt is operated by volunteers of the Kennet and Avon Canal Trust. A licensed bar, refreshments and a toilet are available on board.

If the trip is a catered trip, such as one of our successful music evenings which include a fish and chip supper, numbers are restricted to 40, any more makes for an uncomfortable trip!

Please be aware that food and drink can only be brought on board by prior arrangement. Drinks and snacks are available from the licensed bar on the boat.

Please note: The Kenavon Venture does not have the facilities to load passengers in wheelchairs. All passengers must be able to enter and leave the cabin using the steps at the entrance

Well behaved dogs are usually welcomed on our boat. Experience has shown that other passengers are occasionally unhappy about the presence of a dog. For this reason, we cannot promise that your dog will be able to come aboard. Passengers with dogs will be asked to wait until other passengers have boarded and the skipper will then consult other passengers and make a decision on whether your dog may travel with us. If our skipper decides it cannot, we will refund your ticket.

How to find us

The MV Kenavon Venture is moored on the wharf at Devizes, close to the Kennet and Avon Canal Trust museum (SN10 1EB). Pay and Display public car parking is available on the wharf. Please ensure you buy enough parking time as trips can overrun when there is a lot of traffic on the canal.
