Chichester Ship Canal

Welcome to the Chichester Ship Canal

The Chichester Ship Canal runs for 4 miles, from the Southgate basin in the heart of Chichester to the Chichester Harbour at Birdham. We are conveniently located, and are within easy walking distance from the railway station, bus terminus and city centre.

Our services include relaxing canal boat trips on our boats, where you can take in the picturesque scenery and wildlife. We run daily trips, and our boats are also available for charter for social occasions including lunch, dinner and evening cruises. We also provide rowing boat hire, and the canal is available for canoeing and angling.
