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 40 passengers (currently restricted to 20 passengers owing to Covid-19 restrictions). It 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 36 (currently restricted to 20 owing to Covid-19 restrictions), any more makes for an uncomfortable trip!
Please be aware that food and drink can not be brought on board. Drinks and snacks are available from the licensed bar on the boat (card payments only).
