Throwback to a couple of weeks ago when storms Austen and Boelo were battering the UK…

Too windy for helming? Time to pick up the spanners! 🔧😉
With storm wind gusts exceeding 45 knots at Calcutt Boats, we unfortunately had to postpone our RYA Inland Waterways Helm courses. Our diesel engine students, however, kept going strong—with the welcome shelter of our cosy training room!

Led by Martin Tolley, our extended two-day RYA Diesel Engine Course combines essential theory with practical troubleshooting and maintenance. That extra day gives everyone plenty of hands-on time with the engines, building skills and confidence for looking after their own boat.

Congratulations to everyone on gaining your RYA certificates, and thank you for making it such an enjoyable weekend at Calcutt Boats Training! 👏

Our next diesel engine course runs in November, and spaces are still available. If you’d like to understand your engine better and tackle everyday maintenance with greater confidence, give us a call—we’ll be happy to help.

The sun has set on another hire fleet season and here at Calcutt we want to say a huge thank you to all the customers and staff that have helped make 2026 a success. Thank you all for your continued support and we look forward to launching the new hire season in Spring 2027!

Wishing you all a spook-tactular day that is full of treats (and hopefully no tricks)! 🎃

📸 Throwback Thursday: The Birth of Our Berths! ⚓️

From an empty expanse to a bustling marina!🌿

Our first marina, Locks Marina, was completed in 1992. In the first photo, our founder, Roger, surveys the scene before the marina was completed.

And there's more to Locks than moorings — it's also home to our slipway and comprehensive marine engineering services, helping boaters keep their boats in great shape.

Quite a transformation over the years! 💚

Do you remember Locks Marina in its early days? We'd love to hear your memories! 👇

🤫Secret Spots…

Quiet corners, peaceful waters and views that never get old. 💚

There’s something rather special about having a little spot of the waterways to call your own and this is one of my favourite moorings here at Calcutt 🥰

And who knows? We might just have room for you… 👀

📩 A few mooring spaces are still at Calcutt. Get in touch to find out more.

Boating Tip Tuesday - 💧 Beat the condensation

Cold nights and warm cabins are a recipe for condensation, especially for liveaboards.
✨Top Tips✨
- Ventilate your boat regularly.
- Wipe down wet windows and surfaces.
- Keep air circulating behind furniture.
- Investigate persistent damp rather than assuming it's all condensation.

What's your tried-and-tested trick for keeping condensation at bay?

🚤 Have your say on safety on our waterways! 🔋

Lithium-ion batteries are becoming an increasingly familiar part of boating life — from phones and rechargeable torches to e-bikes and the batteries powering boats’ domestic and propulsion systems.

They offer exciting possibilities for life afloat, but like any powerful energy source, they also bring risks that need to be understood and managed to help keep boaters, their crews and the wider waterways community safe.

The Boat Safety Scheme (BSS) wants to better understand the size and nature of these risks, and they're asking boat owners and waterway users to get involved.

💬 Your experience and views matter! By taking part, you can help build a clearer picture of lithium-ion battery use on our waterways and contribute to making boating safer for everyone.

👉 Find out more about the BSS initiative and how you can have your say by scanning the QR code or following the link below

Please share this post with fellow boaters to help spread the word! ⚓️
