Galleon Marine

Welcome to Galleon Marine

We are a family owned business with plenty of experience and enthusiasm. We aim to provide you with a personal and friendly service and make sure you have a fantastic holiday and unforgettable experience.

Our Location

We are based on Surrey and Hampshire´s Basingstoke Canal, a beautiful location, near J5 of the M3. We are conveniently located approximately 30 miles south of London and 30 miles north of the South coast. If you are coming to us by train we are on a direct route from Waterloo to Hook, which takes approximately only 40 minutes. From Hook station we are only a 10 minute taxi drive away. 

Boat Hire

If you are looking to hire one of our boats for your holiday, don´t worry if you have no experience. The Basingstoke canal is ideal for people new to canal boats. It is a very quiet canal, with none of the problems you can sometimes encounter on busier canals. Plus, if you are on a short break, you will only have to negotiate one lock,  and you have plenty of time to get used to boat and feel more confident about handling it before you reach this point.

We can suggest routes for your trop and provide all the help and advice you need.
