Talbot Wharf - an independent boatyard in Market Drayton

Talbot Wharf is a unique, independent boatyard in Market Drayton on the Shropshire Union Canal. Run by the same family for 60 years, our company, Holidays Afloat Ltd, is one of the oldest canal based leisure boating businesses. We now trade as Talbot Wharf, which is the original name of the boatyard. These days we no longer do boat hire, but we still have all the essentials for your canal holiday as well as your motorhome or caravan.

As well as a range of chandlery, our shop stocks hardware, towing, leisure and caravanning supplies, and we also offer long and short term moorings. We take pride in our reputation for providing our customers with a personal and friendly service.

Each order from our online store is dealt with by us personally, and if you have any queries just pick up the phone and call us.
